I read through the whole kerfluffle, and at first I couldn't figure out why I was upset....then I figured it was just me, especially since i just lurk on the list. But you nailed it perfectly!Linda and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507457405486846539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792090325957318573.post-20546645308567104362013-03-08T11:21:30.826-05:002013-03-08T11:21:30.826-05:00brava!

If nothing else, those of us who dissented early on got others thinking and there have since been excellent ideas on how better to serve the needs of the fundraiser and the contributing artists (yours included). One thing that bothered me in the original Call for Entries, that you do not mention, but has since been remedied, was the amount of work asked to be donated. The Call asked for 6-8 coordinating designs which would be considered one entry. While not brain surgery, one would assume that the artist/designer would take the time to research what the market needs, current color trends, scale of the various designs in relation to each other, variety of pattern and repeats, quality of repeats, etc. This is not trivial work, and yet that is what was asked to be donated as if it were the same as one stand alone 12x12" piece. I am happy to see that the request now starts at only one design and the juror will curate a collection from a variety of artists. It is my belief that we need to always be wary of downplaying our creative and intellectual cache -- it's all we have as artists that sets us apart.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792090325957318573.post-65513468726423796692013-03-07T20:58:55.578-05:002013-03-07T20:58:55.578-05:00Well said!

And yes, I do like the word kerfuffle (although I think it sounds more like the name of an imaginary monster who's big and furry as in "Look out! Here comes a kerfuffle!")Cindy Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572447203990829287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792090325957318573.post-83837189290987000422013-03-07T20:44:07.713-05:002013-03-07T20:44:07.713-05:00Bravo Vivien.
