Soulofwood,

    I had no idea about what the point of your post was, I thought it was
    just a rant. 

    It seemed critical, but I am not sure of what, too many mundane
    beaders maybe? 

    I have not seen your work, so I have no basis of comparison of your
    work to the other work I have seen. 

    I have a retail store, and a few years ago I requested work from
    Orchid members, to be be sold at my store, on commission. I got some
    really good work, and pictures of some members work that I had to
    tell them I could not sell their work in my store, and I carefully
    told them why. 

    Some people have no sense of good craftsmanship, some have no sense
    of good design. Some will blame others for why their work does not
    sell, some will blame themselves. 

    Some people are very limited in their skill or ability, though they
    have desire. 

    Either people find a niche they are happy working in, or they do
    something else. 

    Stating that you don't give a rat's ass seems like a fairly uncaring
    possibly hostile reply. That's just my opinion, and my opinion does
    not mean anything 

    I do not think the person you were responding to would be expecting
    a reply like that. 

    There is a social responsibility inherent in being part of a
    community, virtual, or face to face. Being clear and articulate about
    what you thing or feel in a constructive way helps other people
    understand who you are. 

    The tone and content of your post seems to indicate you want to
    alienate others. 

>      Sorry,, but we are not here(on earth) only make money and survive,
>     feed families, house ourselves etcetcetc as many of the pros
>     profess,,, i say we are here to make beauty

    The above statement is yours. It is an opinion. (I have no idea of
    who your pros profess" are). 

    I agree with you about the beauty part. Possibly were are here to..
    act in beauty as well, treat other people and what they do as part of
    that beauty.. Perception is subjective.. 

Best Regards,
Richard Hart
