That's simple enough; if her pictures are anywhere-near "decent" and worth having, you could offer to barter -- skill for skill...:)


Pricing by the hour doesn't really work for us, because most of us don't make "fast lace". Too many of us hop from one technique to another to become really proficient at any. But, even more than that, too many of us are too persnickety about the perfection of the product -- we spend a lot of time *un*-doing what we'd done, to correct a mistake that only we can see. The professional lacemakers didn't do that -- and *still* perished, when faced with the competition of machines...
