A Question of Sharing Info
Wednesday, November 26, 2008
I just received this Etsy 'convo' from a woman that wants to know how I do my line-art for my Custom Portrait Keepsake Boxes so that her friend can input her designs into her laser cutter and cut them out.
What do you do when you get such a request?? I don't know whether they consider me stupid, or if they're just being innocent/naive about trade secrets and such? I mean, really, what would you do? What do you think I should do?
I've always been a very generous person, but this kind of thing has me bumfuzzled(forgive me that one!lol) - I don't like to tell people no, but I work hard to make everything by hand and to cut something using a laser, is cheating to me... I know, what a stuckup purist! lol I'm not really. Just very passionate about 'handmade'!
I have so much to tell you all, but I have to get orders out - hope to update very soon with some great stuff, so please hang in there! =D
Thanks for "stopping by the shop!"

Email this postDoes being 'Artsy' give one an excuse to be 'Ditsy'??

I realized this morning that I really have become a nitwit! I can't remember anything, can't find anything, and sometimes, I can't remember how to do things! It's a shocking reality for me these days but it caused a rampant discussion in my weak mind that requires more than me to solve, hence the question;
If you're creative, crafty, artistic, or otherwise gratefully endowed, does it mean that you will lose the more intelligent(for lack of a better word) parts of your brain?
I know that being left-handed can affect one's creative abilities, but what controls that side? If it's the right, then does the left side of the brain lose a bit of function?
I found a great diagram on this website and after looking it over I can only say that creating has cost me my frontal lobe!!?!?? Really!lol Just about everything affected on that diagram is what I'm experiencing =< But, was it art that did it? I don't know... but then there's the "motherhood syndrome" which could even easier explain this loss - darn kids!lol
I have to say that I believe, in my case, that art and creating did NOT do this - I think if it were responsible, then I would have more talent!! After all, doesn't one body part grow in capabilities if the other is found deficient? {{{sigh}}}
I was hoping for a more logical explanation - especially before I go into senility entirely!!!
What do you think? Am I the only one thusly afflicted??
Thanks for "stopping by the shop!"
