TBH I enjoy making them, but the pressure is on when it's for someone else.
What I have in mind, might not be exactly what the other person wants and that kinda worries me

How can it not be what that person is looking for if you put them on ebay, not as if they'll be buying blind and just going by a description, unless you're not planning on putting pics on the edverts which would be a wee bit silly *said in my bestest Scottish accent just for you!*
Try a couple and see how they go, if they don't meet a decent reserve (say £50) then sell them to ppl on here, sure you'll have plenty of takers tbh.

Good point Jules 
I was thinking more on the lines that someone would commission one and it not turning out like they wanted

Exactly, then they can't be disappointed with the results!
Make some Jade, I'm VERY interested in buying one or more.
P.S. If you do and I buy one/some I'd like you to sign them on the front please - I'm actually being serious!

Is this so that when I become a famous artist, you can say you had one of my first canvasses
Okay I'm gonna do one this week, get Colin to stick it on ebay and see how it goes

Looks good Jade. Ones like that would be popular I reckon.
you should make a couple, try them, then make batches, of say 10, numbered and signed

Another tip for anyone making their own canvas....
I've just started a new one, and thought I'd try something different to make the texture. I used this stuff to make the squiggly bits and its worked a treat

This ones a bit different, metallic grey background, with pastel metallics applied with rattle cans This is the one I'm going to try 1st on ebay to see how it goes  Colours have come out a bit bright in the pics, it looks more subtle in the flesh

Think I went a bit mad with the rattle cans
Really, honestly, truly it isn't as bright as that in the flesh Mibbi some new pics are required before I try to sell it

Get some pics of it on a white background, put it on ebay and see how much it goes for
You can always pull the auction towards the end

your probably not going to like me saying anything ut im going to anyway.
Really like them but the last one looks a bit patchy with the cans, maybe spray it from further back more evenly.
White background will also make them look 10x better
They look excellent tho
