The cost of Artwork!
Just had this thought as I was working on a design for a client. She saw a piece of artwork that she loves but the cost is outrageous. I have been trying to figure out a way to give her the art she loves but in her budget. Finally, I asked an artist friend to see if they would be willing to recreate the piece BUT put her own spin on it. What a great way to get an original piece of work for a reasonable price and help local artists.
Another option is to visit local galleries and see if you can find something similar, in the Manchester area the New Hampshire Institute of Art is here and the student sell their artwork in galleries all over town, another great way to find original pieces at a great price and help student through school.
Visit some of the second hand stores, you never know what you will find. If the frame is ugly or not what you want you can just have it re framed.
My last thought is be brave and paint it yourself! ha ha I'm not so sure I'm brave enough for that.
Any other thoughts?

Great idea. Art is what you make of it and the story you create!
Thanks for James -
I was talking with a client yesterday and she has an old frame that she loves but nothing to put into. She wants to do something different. I suggested using fabric, scrapbook paper or even newspaper clippings. It is key to think outside the box sometime. That idea completly ties into your quote above "art is what you make of it and the story you create" perfectly said!
