And there are tons of us who admire your work, skills, and love your tutorials. Let those bad apples rot in the bottom of the barrel where they belong.

Guess what, I AM a busty Bavarian ... though not blond ... lol. <br />Then there is the woman who would have liked to strangle me because I insulted her culture. Well, I spend hours researching Maori culture and tattoo's and tried to copy it onto my 12th scale doll. I admit he wasn't the best doll I ever made but, hey, I tried hard.<br />And then someone would have bought sooo many things in my shop if I just wouldn't be a racist. I made a caricature doll of a Cannibal.<br />That was especially humorous because half of my family is of African origin. Well, I'm still making the dolls I want to do no matter what they say and I love it.<br />Christine<br />CWPoppetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586967751072437015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339361064439824933.post-42896380785009398542012-09-26T08:05:24.813-04:002012-09-26T08:05:24.813-04:00Hello CJ,

There is no such thing as a bad or a good technique in miniature. as long as the finished project gives the illusion of reality that is all that matters. It was very rude and quite gauche to point out that your technique was different then his, not necessarily bad. I hate people like that! You've done such amazing work I think you deserve allt he praise that you get.<br />Big hug,<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339361064439824933.post-65736906856010669422012-09-26T03:15:11.580-04:002012-09-26T03:15:11.580-04:00Hi C.J.,
