It is a bit like a class painting the same still life. All alike and yet no two alike and each has the maker's personality imprinted on it.Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-80521042227752264912008-03-12T08:10:00.000-07:002008-03-12T08:10:00.000-07:00I would love to actually see similar ideas execute...I would love to actually see similar ideas executed in different ways. I don't think we should avoid doing somethink just because someone else has done something similar. If we are to learn from eachother we can just always be trying to outdo eachother with something new and exciting. I know my competitive nature struggles with that. Maybe for this open sharing challenge we should encourage taking someone else's idea and going with it? Just a thought.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561464255559358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-57802414589228267792008-03-11T09:13:00.000-07:002008-03-11T09:13:00.000-07:00I don't think it's a "problem!" I think it's just ...I don't think it's a "problem!" I think it's just fascinating. I love to compare artwork that is similar or inspired by the same ideas and see how each piece is different. And they are ALWAYS different. Each of us is quite unique and talented in our own ways. But unique doesn't have to mean completely different and in-no-way comparable to anyone else.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I'm experiencing all the same struggles. Of course, I want to go to the house shape also. I haven't decided if I will or not.Deborah Boscherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630878222793439712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-8085707304548035832008-03-11T08:26:00.000-07:002008-03-11T08:26:00.000-07:00I almost decided not to use the house shape becaus...I almost decided not to use the house shape because I thought this was something you might do Kristin! Then, I had the idea of the spiral house, and decided it was different and it was ok. <BR/>So it seems that we all have the same "problem"...Françoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177778039745875900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-52599160347643402872008-03-11T06:50:00.000-07:002008-03-11T06:50:00.000-07:00Brenda, I was thinking about your January comments...Brenda, I was thinking about your January comments as I was formulating my post. Knowing that I wasn't the only one with these types of concerns is what made me choose posting this here instead of on my own blog. The dialog was started in January and this seemed like a good opportunity to explore it further.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-42485299120917503722008-03-11T02:02:00.000-07:002008-03-11T02:02:00.000-07:00Hmm, Gerrie's comments seem to echo the concern I ...Hmm, Gerrie's comments seem to echo the concern I expressed back on the <A HREF="http://twelveby12.blogspot.com/2008/01/open-or-secret.html" REL="nofollow"><B> 17 January post</B></A>: <I>"I'm not so worried about other's reactions to my quilt as being deterred from pursuing a particular direction because some one else is already going down that path and executing it so well. There's nothing like pangs of inadequacy or fears of being perceived as a copycat to stifle creativity!"</I><BR/><BR/>If it's any consolation Gerrie, I am not at all sure about how my little stamped people will quilt up. I have an alternative pieced design percolating in the background but doubt that I will have time to execute both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-4534163211465617362008-03-10T21:43:00.000-07:002008-03-10T21:43:00.000-07:00I agree with Jude.

But, I am also thinking that I do not like the sharing of our work because it inhibits me and makes me try to do something else when the original idea might have been terrific, but I went in another direction. My original idea which I loved, was very similar to what Brenda is doing and so I abandoned it and now I don't know what I am going to do.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-84235628064287902732008-03-10T11:37:00.000-07:002008-03-10T11:37:00.000-07:00you are not wrong.the way i see it, you are always...you are not wrong.the way i see it, you are always influenced by the world around you, i say all ideas are to be evaluated at the doing. they are yours no matter what has influenced you. i was influenced by potholder weaving. but that was a while ago.(like kindergarten) i love what you are doing here. and glad to see it because i am excited about all its possibilities you have added.judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093892425910458016noreply@blogger.com
