I totally understand the self-esteem issues. I feel like I know very little, because I teach myself new things with every project, and there is still sooo incredibly much I don't know. I would love to go back and get a masters in costume production at some point, but that's probably a long way off.
My mom keeps harping on me about the cards, though. She basically said whenever I get a complement on my garb at a ren faire, I should give them a card and tell them I can make something like that for them, too. I think she's crazy. It was stressful enough making the frock coat for my dad (3000 miles away) let alone a stranger paying me money!
And thanks - I think that dock picture is one of my favorite pics of me of all time.
