My only problem in this situation is that I wasn't asked about my work. The OP presented my work and asked where they could get it. The members on the forum, of course, recommended anyone else and didn't reply, with common sense, "why not ask the person who posted the original picture?" Or even, "What thread or gallery did it come from?"
In all fairness to Tim and to others responding, it isn't always easy
to see whose 'gallery' you're in, depending on how you got there. If a pen
was posted in a thread, and your photo was one of the previews at the
top that shows along with it, he may not have gotten to that pic by
going through your gallery at all. It could be easy enough to find, but it
isn't really the most intuitive. And most respondents don't research to give
what might seem like a simple answer.
I have no problem helping out anyone who asks but it does peave me when my work is dismissed for someone else.
If the OP wants to know about my molds, all he needs to do is ask me. I gently, with unrecognised humor, pointed that out in my first response in this thread.
Got to give him the benefit of the doubt here, too.. the humor didn't really
come across. It looked more like a grouchy reply. But then, that's one of
the disadvantages of humor that isn't face-to-face.. it can be hard to tell.
Again, I will help anyone with their PR casting or moldmaking who asks me.
That's why the responses surprised me..I've seen you give tons of good
information, even researching for other people in order to give a reasoned
explanation. I've gained a lot of knowledge by your posts to other casters,
so at first your replies looked like you had your grouchy on. I didn't even
know it was your mold until you said so. I thought maybe it was made by
a friend and you were defensive on their behalf.
I know what it's like when someone takes on your work as their own.
Charlie (NewLondon) you in for making it? You brought it up......Your idea.....
