I have actually had dealings with people who feel that this comic is TRUE! This is why I have a disclaimer about sharing ideas with my company.  People seem to think that having an idea is the hard part… as opposed to DEVELOPING an idea, getting the materials, research, beta testing, photography, marketing, and setting up the means of production, delivery and the ability to take money from customers… Ideas?  I got lots thanks.  And I hate to tell you this… some of them are the same as yours. The disclaimer states: DISCLAIMER: PLEASE DO NOT SEND UNSOLICITED DESIGN IDEAS!1) We have a lot of ideas/designs in progress at any given time (that may be the same as your idea).2) Because we don’t want to get into a “You stole my idea” argument: We will consider ANY unsolicited ideas or designs sent to us to be our property.I have this policy to stop unsolicited designs from coming my way as I do not want anyone to have any reason to say “You stole my idea” xkcd: Business Idea

Rachael Gray: What Goes Into Making Shoes

I’m baffled at how similar this looks to my process for latex pattern development… and I LOVE the shoes!!! Archean you have to talk to Rachel Gray!

Here is the design I started with when I made my second pair of shoes:

Several changes would be made due to practicality and time, but the essence of the sketch stayed the same throughout the process of making.

And now I’d like to take you through a very quick run through of my last five…
