Dear Crafty Chica,
I like your work alot and I wish I could meet you one day... I live quite far from you .... Indonesia. I like your pop art and funky art alot .. and make them A lot of friends like the way I make it and ask if they could buy it from me. I do not feel right to sell them since it is not my original design. Could I sell it to them..... or what should I do if they like and want the craft I made based on ur instructions?  
Do you give classes ???? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

I am a big fan... you have such wonderful ideas. I have a little space at a local shop in the art district for San Antonio. All of the merchants make their own items from ceramics, mosiacs, jewelry and paintings. My hobby is beaded jewelry (sterling silver wire, chains,gems,& crystals)and I use your idea for the earring holder to display my work. I hope to complete some of your other projects soon. I was recently asked to offer some classes and looking thru your website today i wondered if I could use some of your ideas? Please let me know if that would be okay or not. I especially like your guitar pic idea. Hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Lillian, aka Lilly's Designs. P.S. Thank you for being a great "Latina" influence.

Hi Karen and Lillian!
Thanks for all the kind words. I'm truly flattered that you like my ideas so much. The truth is, I can't take full credit - like many designers out there, I'm inspired by all kinds of things - trends, movies, fashion magazines, web sites, even my junk drawer in my art studio! What I do is tinker with ideas until I can come up with my own version that, hopefully, hasn't been done before. If you would like to sell or make money teaching classes from my ideas, I would ask that you do the same, por favor with sugar on top. you'll feel so good that you did! Take some time to add your own "signature" to the concept either with the materials, the application, etc. That way you are being an original designer and I won't feel funny that you are using the same exact version of what I made. OR, as a last resort, please credit my web site for use of the project either in your printed materials or a link. Thank you again for writing and asking.
Much respect and a big crafty hug,
CC
