re: It's just cake !

Not had time to read the others’ responses above but just wanted to say sorry this happened to you! I’ve never had anyone say it to my face or even put it down on email or PM but am sure many have thought the same thought…even previous clients who I might have undercharged when I was learning and building my portfolio as I’ve had a few not respond back when they inquire after I’ve raised prices. However, don’t let it dishearten you for long as it is ALWAYS the case that there will be people who will undervalue the artistic skill that goes into creating something custom. But there will also be those that TRULY appreciate the work that goes into it and THOSE are the ones whose opinion should be valued. Not those that can’t see the bigger picture outside of themselves. You are entitled to feel slighted by that person but please don’t let it get you down for long. Your work is great and constantly improving so you should charge what is worthwhile to you. There is bound to be many more that will pay what you’re worth, than the one that would be so rude as to say such a thing. It’s something that we all have to deal with because there will always be those that “just don’t get it”. BIG HUGS Lisa and keep doing what you’re doing =D
