This client called me and asked how much it would be for a hand henna. I told her for $25 I could do something pretty nice. She agreed and we set up an appointment. I should have been clearer. I do not do private appointments for less then $25! I had her look through my design books and she chose this pattern. Ok. I did it. I also drew little flowers with my aquarrellable pencil (water color pencil) on both her daughters. When I was done she took out a hundred dollar bill and asked if I had change. Uh, no. And if I did I would not have brought it with me to this "neighborhood". I was asked for two cigarettes while still in the parking lot. She only had $13 dollars on her, her husband had $1. So for $14 bucks, I leave my home and drive across town at 8:30 at night because she couldn't do it any earlier as she works until 8:00. Booo. So be sure and be clear about what your minimum is if you have one. Live and learn.

How awful!

But its pretty!!

I got paid $2 for a design that I would have charged $10 for once. :S and I didnt do anything about it.

I gave her a big stack of my cards and told her she can promote the heck out of me.
