Fabric Cuff Handmade OOAK Bracelet stars stripes and vintage buttons

I started out with some lovely stars and stripes fabric that I acquired from a wonderful seller:) I added an array if vintage red white and blue buttons and stitched them onto a 2" by 7" metal cuff. Lastly I used some cream thread to embroider a button hole stitch around the edges. The cuff is slightly adjustable.

Someone ELSE can not see the stripes ? BUT Why do I ALWAYS see the stars and the Stripes???

Okay....I hope someone will chime in here and tell me.....did I really "fail" by posting this "stars and stripes" item on the Zibbet Picks stripes board?  (And I myself love all of the items that Karen from her shop in this link and all of the shops she has had since I first met her has to offer..this gal has some awesome items...(and my first reaction to this comment was that it pi$$ed me off that someone else was calling out an item that I had supposedly "failed" at pinning because Karen called it "stripes" in the description) and I supposedly wasn't discerning  enough in my quest for the striped thangs....Someone there called me a "fail" for doing so and I just wanted to share the conversation....not sure why this drama was created over this absolutely in my opinion FAB item on Zibbet.....but this was the crabfestnest that I somehow got into tonight for simply volunteering my time doing what I know is a good thing LOL...and please...can anyone chime in here..am I the only one who sees stripes here??
Also...should I just shut my mouth and ignore people in a situation like this?   I really would appreciate any opinions on this matter....Zibbet has such a positive vibe and I hate to bring any negativity to that! ....I guess what gets me is that by doing something that I thought was good ....for some reason someone thought it was "bad"? And acts like I am on some huge payroll and should only pin things that agree with their all knowing perception of art crafts and creations???

Ketutar J. I'm sorry, but... I can't see any stripes. I love stripes. But I want my stripes to be stripes. Have a little more discernment, please. This is supposed to be a showcase for striped items at Zibbet, not items labeled with "stripe".

spankyluvsvintage @Ketutar J.uhm...I'm sorry as well that you do not see any stripes..but I guess people indeed see things differently? When I look at this I see stripes going horizontally and I also stripes going Vertically....now a lot of people would look at this and just see checks.....maybe? But I myself look at it and think I see what the artist may have seen when creating this print...a series of many stripes that later some might only see as checks..but in fact they were merely stripes when they were first placed upon the canvas...and that is simply how I see it....and not how it was labeled....sorry if you do not see it that way...but we all look at the world with different eyes....but I see stars and stripes here...LOL!

Ketutar J. I see. So - by that logic I could be pinning a picture of a dog on a board of cats, because I see cats as four legged, mammals, furry and pets, and dogs are that too, so basically dogs are cats, except that some people might find the definition a bit too wide, but they are just being... what? Narrow-minded? And I could be pinning green items with one orange dot in "Orange" board, because - hey, there IS orange in the item! In my mind you have an agreement with Zibbet and your audience to pin truly striped items, and not anything that MIGHT with good imagination and very free interpretation to be considered as "striped", and you fail. I find it peculiar that you seem to find that amusing. - I love stripes. I hate squares, checkered and plaid. I am aware that you get the latter by having stripes "horizontally and vertically" in the same space, but that makes the whole difference. Star is not a triangle, even though it consist of triangles.

spankyluvsvintage As I said we all see things differently and if you think I fail then hey....you are more than welcome to create your own stripe board as you see it here for Zibbet...which is simply a volunteer deal by the way because we at Zibbet think there are so many awesome finds here on the sight..there is no agreement other than to volunteer to pin items from Zibbeters to share here....and do you have a problem with the entire board of selections that I have chosen here or is it just particular drama over this one pin where you see check and I see stripes but now it is that you think it is also that someone might be pinning dogs as cats and also are color blinded in the orange category? Sorry If I somehow unknowingly pissed in your Cheerios here ..uhmmm I see piss as yellow (mine) but others might view as brown or even sometimes they might think it has a greener tint....but that has nothing to do with whatever your problem with me is here.:) go follow some more people besides me LOL

spankyluvsvintage and as one last comment to you here..if by your logic you see dogs as cats.....then that is just how you see it :)...If I see stripes that you see as checks...then that is your opinion and my opinion and we are both entitled to them...if you say I failed then okay...whatever....your opinion matters somewhere....just not to me :) And Zibbet is a very positive place and I am sorry that we did not have a sing around the campfire experience here :) Can't wait for the 4th of July LOL! Whoo hooo!!!

I guess all that I can say is that here is one example that I can think of since she was talking about 4 legged animals.....hmmmm...if I call a turd a "piece of chit"....but you call it "something not to step on"....do we walk away and avoid it and act like it isn't there or do we talk to the turds and tell them what we think?
Help me out here LOL!
