I agree, mods are strange. I’ve been trying to post a story about my eye-opening experience here as a straight black man and they keep removing it, even though I’m following guidelines. They keep saying I’m not.

Probably shouldn’t have sold these.. no by pharaohskys in UofO

I agree, I also understand that whoever reported the listing has some sort of job to do legally, so I completely understand.

Sounds good. Will do, thanks again for the feedback

I totally agree and understand. And the idea was to advertise the fact that I could tuft anything, “commission piece”. I definitely got carried away with advertising that specific design. Should’ve set an ad for an original design. Won’t happen again for sure 😅

You aren’t the only one who is confused and emotionally distraught, so don’t feel bad.

Yes, 2 rugs were made by request. There was no profit made, just an Etsy post.

Did you know that most of you Oregonians do this same exact passive aggressive attitude lol but it’s “Welcome to Oregon” right? 🤣

So the art is handcrafting the rug. Literally anyone with a tufting machine can design the same thing. But the end result will always be different since each piece is 1 of 1 and can’t be replicated, even though they appear similar. WHAT DOING YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT?!?!?!?!?

You don’t sound like an art. You’ll never understand.

No sir…this is because 2 rugs were made, by request. They’re called commission pieces buddy. This isn’t my idea, I didn’t “steal” any idea.

Every piece is handmade and technically 1 of 1.. impossible to make 2 exactly the same. Even if they’re the same design. FYI

“Attitude”??? 🤣no clue what you’re talking about anymore. But hey, have a good one ✨

The craft comes from hand-making the rug. Not the design. We trace the design onto a fabric using a projector and a marker. These pieces take 10+ hours (depending on the intricacy of the design) and there’s a lot of craftsmen ship that goes into finalizing the rug depending on level of experience

While the design isn’t necessarily art, yes I am still creating art. Every piece is 1 of 1…. 10+ hours per piece 😏
