I was ecstatic today to receive my Sommerset Studio magazine in the mail today! I always get so excited first.. when it comes.. and then when I have the opportunity to sit down and browse through it!!
So I am browsing.. tonight... taking in every page and all of the wonderful eye candy..
WHEN.. I was absolutely elated... when I saw the ad for the Winter Gallery 2007 issue! Because in the middle of the page I see MY ARTWORK!!!!! OM GOSH! Never even knew it! I sent little doll creature in so long ago that I had really forgotten about her..
But then I quickly went from totally elated to "awww shucks!" they credited my little doll to someone else :(
I guess at least I know who made it and I AM honored to be published!!! Well.. and now also anyone who reads my blog.. (but really.. where's the proof?-- ahhh I have to dig up and old picture I took of her when I first made her to prove it!)
Stacie, what a wonderful dollie! Congrats. I think everyone has given you good advice to let Somerset know about the error so they can fix it before they put that very same ad in all their mags! Sally

Congrats Stacie! That is wonderful! Very adorable doll! I remember how excited I used to get when I was published. I wish there were more magazines dedicated to amatur (sp?) artists. I am not mixed media anymore but not really a professional. I am totally out of the gettin published loop! Anyway, congrats to you!

Ouch!! i know how that feels. I did an article w/ scrapbook pages for Simple Scrapbooks Magazine years ago, and they put someone else's name on the whole thing.

OH WOW! How disappointing that would be, but I'm sure they would feel terrible to find out their error and will most likely rectify it. Yes contact them. Congrats, what a lovely little creature she is.

Check out the inside back cover of the Sept/Oct 2006 issue. They have you credited as the artist there. Congratulations!!!

The doll is lovely! You should definitely get SS to correct their mistake. :)

Make sure you let them know! They will fix it in the next issue. The same thing has happened with a group of artists and they were good to make the necessary changes in the next issue. It is a big deal! You are such a talented girl! (love the brooch you made! Might need some of those for the shop.)
