I was talking with my good friend Julia Lowther about how publishing your work can be a double edged sword. You get paid very little from the hobby/craft magazine and then they will turn around and re-publish, re-sell what you created without even notifying you.

Speaking of that very thing! It is hilarious that this hobby/craft magazine publisher continues to promote themselves and make money off of my work after trashing my name on this very same internet forum a few years back. The posting of my article by this hobby/craft magazine proves one thing: Quality of craftsmanship speaks for itself, as does the lack of original creative talent.
