Better to have boring work than no work at all! I know this from when I had my welding business. It is the boring jobs that usually pays the bills, the fun or interesting jobs are mostly few and far between and of short durations.
LOL,,, I hear that, I said I was done making cutting boards! Then 4 more people gave me deposits after I raised the price. Go figure….. Buys more tools for free though.
They are really nice though! I would love some like that to paint on. I have done some beautiful pictures where the picture itself is smaller and it extends onto the frame. No wonder she wants so many of them! I guess I would be 'guilty' of ordering some from you if you lived closer to me!
I call this type of work my 'meat and potatoes' work. It fills the hole and as you said, gives me the means to do what I wish. Just try to think of all the nice things you will get with the money these bring in - and also how happy you will make your client.
