It is the ...I'm so sorry this happened to you. It is the risk we take when we put our art on the net, everyone can take our ideas. I tell my high school art students, " ...we take from other artists not to copy, but to learn." Too bad that the person who took from you doesn't understand that concept. Some people are so desperate for sales.Nenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143767668681789624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800198153114727981.post-89918912198679043482011-05-11T09:48:46.050-07:002011-05-11T09:48:46.050-07:00I'm so glad that you said something about it. ...I'm so glad that you said something about it. I have had this happen and the first momentary effect is like being winded - all - breath - gone!<br />I still don't understand why someone would think this is ok. I understand the urge to want to make something inspired by someone else and keep it for oneself. I understand totally the urge to try out a technique as a material exploration and see where it leads for one's own work - as a jumping off point, you understand. But just plain copying and SELLING it I find hard to swallow.Claire Maunsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015419730497175239noreply@blogger.com
