    Once you reach the agreement that they want you to design the piece.
    Separate the phases into design and production. 

    The cost of research, time spent going over specific shades to be
    merged, how the curve or shape is to be joined, textures. You should
    have already incorporated this into your cost of doing business. Even
    if you do it with one of the design programs there is still cost
    involved and it has to be covered in your business model. 

    Sounds like you're just not used to identifying it to the customer.
    Present it reasonably and most will not bolt. Those that do....
