Making Money
“Your artwork is really beautiful, honey, but you really need to make some money...” We propose to make some money: a $50, a tenner, and if you are really in a hurry, a loonie! Using craft, design, and art skills, make crafty amounts of money at the Junction Arts Festival. How long will it take? Like everything in life, it depends on how much you want to make...the higher the denomination, the more intricate the process, the greater the energy & creative out put, just like making beautiful artwork...hey, it is beautiful artwork!!
