Congregation

TheresaGreen has added two photos to her gallery, they do show that the figure is touching her hair, no phone. They also do show that the facial features are very unlike those I've seen in photos of Will or Alan Young's work. In my opinion.

Someone might want to repost the advice on how to upload photos to a post.

 

I sent her all she needed on photos...about 6 hours ago...and hasn't answered nor thanked me.

 

Well thanks for your help with the photo's as for the rest, I have been accused of 'trying to be clever or disingenuous, or intentionally trying to mislead by implying you know nothing about the item, when in fact, you know what you have been told, even if you are not sure it is true. You are asking members to help you decide if it is as represented; but you are concealing the real question, and asking another, thus leading members on a wild-goose chase.
It is not pompous to suggest that you should ask your real question, and not mislead by asking a fake question'
Treating me like a criminal for 'withholding information' and saying that I am rude and asking 'fake' questions. I joined your site to ask for your help and apart from a few useful comments all I have been given is grief and nasty, snappy attitudes. Where does it say on your site to tell us all you know about your item or we will be horrid to you ?? nothing but snipes from most of you.
You know what...just forget it !!!
I give up !!

 

maybe , when you've calmed down , you could go to the introductions forum , and introduce yourself.....and start afresh ............
knowing now, what little we require to help you with your items .....your next posting could turn out to be a positive experience for all of us.

 

That sounds like a good idea. Speaking for myself, I did a fair amount of research on this sculpture and feel I posted useful comments. If anyone feels I have been nasty or snappy, I do apologize, and will try to be kinder in the future.

 

Thank you for your kind words. This has all been very upsetting for me. I was not expecting the reactions I got. I am a 58 year old fun loving retired Nurse who does not like confrontation. Just want a peaceful life, I have nursed too many sick people and this is my time now. I thought it might be fun to join an Antiques forum but it all went terribly wrong !

 

Please don't feel that way.
Posters were really just trying to help you provide the information we all need in order to be helpful.
Nobody intended to make you feel like a criminal, and I'm sure we are willing to welcome you into what really is a fun community of people who I'm sure share many of your interests.
I've found that in public forums I need to be careful not to take offense, and must remember that the online posts don't adequately reflect nuances of emotion and meaning; and I always try to be thick-skinned and to take everything with one or two grains of salt.
That said, welcome to the forums, and I hope you stay.
I found your sculpture, whether by the Youngs or not, to be interesting to see and to research.
