Thank you Selene & Callum for your comments. Especially for the wiki link to the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990. (USA).

Indigenous Australian art made in China - uuuggghhh. I have ongoing negotiations with 2 indigenous communities, (so far), with the idea of allocating copyright to creators of beautiful works that we would hope to produce in pendants & earrings in precious metals. We are far from reaching any form of agreement as it is a new-ish company, but I would look to produce these items for artists at slightly above cost price. This leaves a LOT of room for very healthy profit margins for the artists. It is intended that these gorgeous works would be manufactured alongside my own celtic, viking & original themes with a view to enabling self sufficiency in the design and manufacturing process for the artists as time goes on. I intend to begin all of this by offering pendants that celebrate personal achievement/s and gifting them to community members nominated by the elders. I dont even have to be there, but I would like to be I am only a one person company so its baby steps atmo. I can say that the elders I have discussed this with are quite receptive to ongoing talks regarding this issue. Is this cultural appropriation? I am quite interested to hear peoples opinions.

The quality of yarn used to stitch your threads together is quite acceptable to me

All I know is that those who know me, (both geminis ^^), understand that if I make even one typo, that means I am emotionally, & mentally exhausted. I only have one voice SL/RL. Twin number twos voice is never heard in real life. Musically? yes, verbally? no never.

The majority and the owner seemed quite ok and very funny. But basically I will also clean my toilet today. Thanks for the reminder! ❤️

I am employed by our Dept of Education as a cognitive disability assistant, (my sort of, day job), because of my uncanny empathy with those less fortunate than most. We all know what that means. *woody woodpecker laugh.

100 to 120k max complexity with ancient flexi-hair, mesh head, body and jewellery is my average. On a good day when I haven't been scoffing pixel chocolate I'll be 85 to 90k complexity. I think I'm doing ok not to be a total resource piggy ^o^ based on what I see inworld. Wearing quite nice mesh clothes & shoes too.

whispers: Those mesh people ^^.... *hisses.... They all look the same to me...

Respectfully I have trouble with the notion of reading an academics opinion of what I have been living for the past 9 years at any price. We scrimp, we save, we love, we live. I DO it. I Don't read about it. And I have never owned a pair of show-pony overpriced sneakers/running shoes either.

I made some money in SL but then transferred and expanded those skills to RL which works much better SL is Zombie time for me. Trusted friends, the art of text. Live music. Relax! 8-)

I like some Blueberry stuff. I don't mind the X promoting. Anything Uber is yuksville, SL or RL lol Blueberry 1 - Uber 0. Evens things out for me.
