Best wishes of success to you, and your creation is amazing! Your hats are very cool and very pretty, but stop being so self righteous. Stop pulling the starving artist card. Sure, she was a jerk, but man up and stop being butthurt because some random lady was a smart ass. Your hats *are* very expensive. Instead of seeing a piece of art, they see a hat. Your work is worth it to some, and not to others. Like everything else in the world. Laugh it off and put your big girl panties on. Stop being so pretentious about your crafts -- you'll grow as a person. I know how you feel! I too am underappreciated! I make toliet paper wreaths and sell them for $50 bucks each. Many times people have said that I am overpriced! Little do they know the trama my body endures to make one wreath. Lets break it down....It takes about 50 rolls to make one wreath, I have to buy cottenelle which is about 20 bucks a pack. WHy cottenelle you say? Well I have to use the paper to get the rolls, thus forth many a laxative I take to poop that much. I have many a hemroid from all this. So 20 bucks a roll, plus 5 bucks for PrepH...we are already up to 25 bucks for one wreath! I still have to buy glue and thats like another 5 bucks. Then I just pay myself the difference. I feel your pain,
