This is so cool! It doesn't seem to stipulate that the designers be from the UK, so I say go for it if you have a design to showcase. I shared this post on FB.
Yeah it stings when someone doesn't appreciate your efforts, but then again, there's 6-7 billion people on the planet, and you can't please everyone. I also paint/draw, and not many people are 'into' my style, but that's ok. It never stops me from creating. I create to create, and if it happens to please someone, then that's great. If not, there may be another artist down the road more to that person's liking and that's ok too.
One of my favorite posts, and actually the post that brought me to this blog in the first place a few months ago!
I've noticed the Philippines popping up lately in the crochet blogosphere. Thanks for highlighting another awesome international crochet artist.
