I think you are being very professional not naming the thief.<br /><br />Your work is unique and brings joy to us living far and wide. All the very best to you always!

How in the world would anyone think they had a right? I'm glad you were able to stop this person. I commend your not embarrassing her. The photos clearly show your work is much better. Sorry for your troubles. I love your work.

It's like stealing pieces of your soul and imagination for her own profit...way worse than theft of a material object. It's greedy, lazy, and despicable. I'm so glad you found out and followed up. May you never have to again! Love your art and where your imagination and creativity take me.Bonnie Irvinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643206162571554178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014615331956851837.post-21638256203648465652017-10-11T09:23:10.628-07:002017-10-11T09:23:10.628-07:00I am so sorry this happened to you! I have loved ...I am so sorry this happened to you! I have loved seeing your work so much. Your clever way of making your characters come alive has made me grin and laugh over over. They seem to exude attitude and you have the feeling they just stopped moving long enough for you to take a picture. You are do generous sharing your techniques and processes, it's truly disheartening to hear of someone taking advantage of you. As an artist, and lately a polymer clay artist, I aspire to have my own voice some day. I know that I would like to do the same as you and other well known polymer clay artists have done, and that is sharing the techniques and thought processes in order to encourage others to find their own voice. Having seen what happened to you, it saddens me to know that I will have to keep a careful eye out for this kind of thing. I just wanted you to know that I find your characters delightful and truly appreciate the gift you have given the polymer clay community. A gift of excellence in the medium, and a hift of knowledge. I want to assure you that most of us understand that sharing your knowledge is not intended to provide us with the ability to copy your work, but instead is intended to be an example of skills and techniques that will hopefully give us the confidence to create our own special work. Again, thank you so much for your generosity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190888241803522097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014615331956851837.post-14680275819406543662017-10-11T08:02:27.660-07:002017-10-11T08:02:27.660-07:00Well, if this makes you feel.any better at all, yo...Well, if this makes you feel.any better at all, your work is 10x better than hers and I would have guessed you had far more experience than she. ��Lindsayb-mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09313654220891668570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014615331956851837.post-48990930635416589972017-10-11T04:42:30.734-07:002017-10-11T04:42:30.734-07:00I'm flabbergasted!
