lintninjaI have been charged with cultural appropriation for my headpiece designs. It has been suggested that I should be skewered. I am crushed by this. I am inspired by beauty from many cultures. I do not feel that I am taking anything away from them when I make a piece of art inspired by them. Am I?

Originally I was thinking more of a Dia De Los Muertos Which really is appropriation. I dunno. I do NOT want to be disrespectful of any ones culture. I am inspired by so many.sigh Damned if you do and damned if you don't,
