Terri, I don't think so because you are providing editorial content about the product, and not competing or duplicating the exact products.

Thank you Shayan.

Pamela, Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have been very busy. This a situation that falls under "buyer (or seller) beware." He offered you a price. You accepted the price. That's it. In the future, I would recommend doing research online for what you are selling or buying. It is easy to look on sites like e-bay for what is selling. You can also look for SOLD items to gather an idea for the going price. The internet is truly a font of knowledge with a little time and effort. There may also be articles or clubs about baseball cards. Facebook for example probably has several groups, You could post an image and ask the group members for the going price and you may even find a buyer. In this case, it doesn't sound like you did your homework before selling what may have been an asset worth money. Best regards, Harriete

Thank you Joan. I appreciate your optimistic support, but both days were so quick without a moment to reflect. I did the best I could at that moment. Lesson learned for everyone is that it is super important to talk about your work with family and friends...so you are ready when the moment comes for live in front of the camera.

Thanks Charlotte!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was an amazing experience.

Start working hard on your studio now. It takes a lot longer that you think. Harriete

Jo-Ann, Thank for all the applause. It is indeed been a very interesting experience which I look forward to sharing. I learned and lot and hopefully every one of the "Craft In America" shows will bring more visibility and a larger audience to the best of craft. Harriete

Biba, You are so right. Advocates for craft like Carol Savion and Patrick and Robert with the vision of Ornament Magazine do make a difference. Many times during the interviews, I also thought of Suzanne Ramljak who invited me to be part of Uneasy Beauty at the Fuller Craft Museum, and when I asked if I could make a big piece she said, "yes." And when it was 16 feet, she said "yes" and when it was 26 feet she said "yes." And all of this without boundaries or ifs, or limitations. She trusted me, and never filled me with crippling doubt. This level of positivity is so important.

Thank you Francesca. It was a truly amazingly exciting experience even if I felt challenged every step along the way. I'm working on writing several posts. The entire journey had so many facets.

Louise, My studio definitely needed help and I didn't have very much time. I'd open up drawers and the tins were covered with so much dust that you couldn't even tell the color. And the organization was in crisis. For more than a year, I had no time for any cleaning or organization. With limited time, I had to do wholesale purges of old slides and move volumes of materials out of the way.
