Help a girl out: 11 pendants on eBay going cheap!!

I had someone want to know how to make a goddess bead. I explained that mine are made very intuitively and free form, I rarely make them the same way twice and it really wasn't something I could explain in an email but I did provide a link to a goddess tutorial written by someone else. I explained that this goddess wasn't like mine but that it was a good one to begin with and would help develop some basic skills which would, with practice, allow her to work in a more free form style.. Well, she wrote back and didn't like that goddess, wanted to make ones like mine. I just couldn't understand that kind of thinking. I guess I should just be happy that she wrote back at all and did say thank you, but obviously wasn't really satisfied with my answer. I also know that since nothing was handed to her, she probably won't go far in this medium...I guess that's a good thing in a way. Wow, that story just... I mean, holy ****. What did she want, a soul transfer? Maybe you should have just given her all your beads and told her to sell them under her name. Then she wouldn't have to work AT ALL. Oh, also give her access to your bank accounts. I get that kind of thing occasionally, just less blatant. People just don't seem to understand that there really are no shortcuts, ya gotta do the work! It seems like such a basic principle, yet it seems to elude so many. Ok, I know this has nothing to do with what we've been talking about, I'm just rambling here on this fine sunny sunday morning so just ignore me! It's an interesting topic, I'm enjoying it.

Kalera,
Wow, that story just... I mean, holy ****. What did she want, a soul transfer? ROTFLMAO! Thank you! I definitely needed a chuckle today, it has been one of those days! Now I am going to bed where it is peaceful and calm, Teresa |

This is funny. I've seen a bunch of goddesses that are obviously imitations
of your goddesses. Things that have similar proportions. But what is distinctive about yours is the free flow of the work, the quality of activity or of rest from activity. The sense that there is substance and muscle that flows and ties together ever in the more restful pieces. In life drawing, you study the bones first for proportion, and then the muscles for mass and motion. Your goddesses always remind me of sketches or studies (etudes). Tina "LavenderCreek" wrote in message oups.com... Hey Amy, Thanks for replying! And I'm happy to hear that even if those auctions didn't go well, they were the beginning of something else for you! Speaking for myself and a few others I am sure, I am just floored sometimes by how rude, selfish and inconsiderate some people can be...I think we are becomming a bit sensitive to anything even remotely similar...so it wasn't really you that set this off. The sad thing is that it is a growing trend and not just an occasional thing. Maybe it has to do with the society we live in now where instant gratification is the norm. People are taught that they have the right to nearly anything they want, just ask, and it should be yours. Of course the beadie world isn't the only place I've seen this so I gotta think it is just the way society is these days. I had someone want to know how to make a goddess bead.

Thank you so much Tina! You made my day That is really what I was
hoping people would see, I spend alot of time trying to hint at just the things you mentioned when I am making my goddesses. It makes me so happy when people see it I was wondering if people really noticed these things because I have been asked a few times why my goddesses sell so much better than other poeple's goddesses. I feel like if I need to answer that question, the person asking would never understand anyway! Thank you!
