That's what you did...and it still works just like that. Kathryn Stockett's perseverance is something we can all learn from - and keep at it!

So much to learn and experiment with! I've been painting since I was five, went through art school and worked in many design fields all my life but I'm still learning and trying to improve my skills. I think this is key to be a successful professional, in any fields. Never stop learning! ...and never listen to criticisms that are not intended to help one in their artist or other pursuits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136337129934209874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668465913284912052.post-16751632116079099702011-08-17T19:15:05.574-07:002011-08-17T19:15:05.574-07:00Ive been following for some time, but i think this...Ive been following for some time, but i think this is my first comment. Great post with a lot of good info. I've been an artist designer for almost 20 years; custom rugs, dinnerware, stationery. I've been a freelance contractor for the last 12. I'm finally getting around to working on the licensing bit. I know how the biz works, but I feel like I'm starting from scratch; needing to create new work that is free and clear of ties to past clients. I have the skills and technique, but find the challenge in coming up with ideas and collections a bit challenging, but I'm sticking with it. I think the feedback ideas, licensing groups, etc., are great ideas. I must look into it, I could use some constructive feedback.
