Will anyone dare say.....your stuff is crap.......?????

[UCM]

Everyone likes everyones stuff.......

I normally make a lot of fuzz when I like something or if I see some "potential" (though never make clear if I making the fuzz because I like it or because I might like it if it's developed to my standards . I never lie, if I don't say anything it just means that I hate it...

HAving said that, I have not seen many examples of what some Mumsneters do :)

on here ..... no one says anything horrid, even if asked.....thanks for replying Chandra....

I had a teacher who gave me the best piece of advice when I was 13yrs old, he asked me to look at my work as if it had been done by my worst enemy. It certainly help me to be objective and definitively improved the quality of my work.

i think that people put stuff up to be admired; they are pleased with it themselves and just want (maybe sub-consciously) some affirmation of their thoughts.

however, if you really want help/criticism i am sure there are many on here who would, and do, give it. i know i have sent pics to other MNers and asked for criticism in the form of "Something is missing here, but i don't know what. what do you think?" and they have always been really helpful, i suppose 'critical', but in a positive, useful way.

if you really are needing criticism then ask for it and i am sure you will get some constructive comments.

there are some cards that are not my style, not my prefernce; that doesn't mean they aren't technically good, they just don't push my buttons.

i like Chandra's teacher's words though.

If I like someones card I let them know and I'm honest.
If don't like it I don't put a comment on MNs.
If I was asked for constructive critism I would give it willingly.
I put my cards up on the gallery to give others ideas and I look on the gallery to pinch some ideas as UCM knows I'm the biggest pincher of hers

I only comment on the cards that I like.

Criticism is for families, praise is for friends.

My sis, for example, won't buy my cards coz 'I am not wasting my money stuff that doesn't look professional' (but she gave a mate three quid for an anitas blank with two squares mulberry and a bought topper!!!!!! But anyway)

I'm good at critiquing if anyone wants some constructive criticism .. but only ask me if you really really want to know what I think on a commercial level

ill sat it
its crap

there

no, coz, its not in the spirit of friendliness. unless its a joke.
if constructive critiscism is aske froo then of course it is given. arent we all experts? about everything?
