How nice that Mr. Chihuly acknowledged your work with a gift--lucky you! Your work is stunning. Congratulations on your well-deserved award(s).

I was given the exact verbiage as to how I was to list the inspiration. It was not my intent to copy his art verbatim but rather to challenge myself to create the illusion of glass, the shadows and M.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04387361200060239849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568883822508380204.post-21564380415220308412014-10-13T13:38:13.822-04:002014-10-13T13:38:13.822-04:00I think her attribution, including the name of the...I think her attribution, including the name of the piece, is enough acknowledgement. What I have a problem with is the way most quilt show judges value the minutiae of technique over originality. She has made skilled use of her medium, but I would never award a prize to art that is so clearly derivative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568883822508380204.post-12066182081279177592014-10-12T19:12:36.752-04:002014-10-12T19:12:36.752-04:00I think that is plenty.

That doesn't seem quite right to me. They don't attribute this to him. Just look at art over the years. Tiffany was copied every which way but you could always tell how his work was different, usually better.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
