So many great opportunities for the artist... and then the unfortunate side effect of having one's work so easily stolen.

However, as long as people are brought up to know the real value of things, there's hope :) And, the real artist is always one step ahead, hopefully.

The problem though, as you've pointed out, is that sometimes the new creator decides to undermine the effectiveness of the first by selling something intricate for a price that no real business owner can compete with. The happy ending that these gals are still making their items and selling is great. Good for them for never giving up!Jenn Flynn-Shonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441834864191292424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792410363486054662.post-51998505443138425822013-05-31T13:49:07.849-04:002013-05-31T13:49:07.849-04:00It's so hard to know when you order from a com...It's so hard to know when you order from a company online.
