Delayna has been taking art lessons for a few years now and is an excellent painter now. She is trying to raise some money to take a trip to Canada this summer to go to Camp YES and visit friends and family. Because of where we live, there is not a lot she can do to work to earn money so she is trying to sell some paintings. I am posting some pictures of some that are done, but she also takes requests. You can either give her an idea of what you want or find a picture for her to look at. It usually takes her approximately 1 - 2 months to paint one. They cost around $30-$50, depending on the size and the paints used. That is not framed, but if you are interested in having it framed here (I don't know how much it costs in the States, but I don't think it is too much here) before we sent it, we could check on that price for you. If you are interested or if you have any questions, just let me know. Thanks!
Wow! Delayna is quite the accomplished artist! We can't order anything right now because of our future's uncertainty, but I DID link to this post on Facebook. Hopefully she is able to raise all of the $$$ she needs! Great job, Delayna!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Delayna does a great job! It really is difficult for missionary kids to earn money. This is the first year we have had our three oldest give missions money to our home church in the States, and they (we) have struggled with money-making ideas without the money coming out of our own pockets. Do you have other ideas that you could share with missionaries?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jolene!
ReplyDeleteSally, I really don't have many ideas. Delayna babysits other missionary kids and she is also very good at taking pictures so she is going to try to take some family pictures to earn some money. Another missionary girl here made jewelry and she sold it mostly to groups that came down (they have a lot of groups come through). This might be a subject we could talk about on the Baptist Missionary Women group.
Wow, she really is very talented! Those are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can draw stick figures and that's about all way to go Delayna!!!!
