OK...
Either my time estimate in this post was way off, or the amount of texture on the surface of an object is a much bigger factor than I thought it would be. Or both.
I just finished covering a small paper mache treasure chest, and including the time it took me to go through my box of paper scraps looking for the right colors, it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes. At least an hour of that was actually gluing.
The surface area of the chest is 22 square inches, only a bit more than yesterday's frame, which is 19 square inches.
So, using the formula from the earlier post my price for it would be $48.22, which seems really high. If I don't include the "finding the colors" step in the time, then the price comes to $29.59, which seems more reasonable but is still up there.
I think I have to adjust my formula.
Edit: Edited to fix my math. I forgot a step in the formula.
