Succinctly put, Jacqui, and my thoughts exactly.
For personal reasons and for many of those stated in this topic, I do not enter judged shows. But even when I enter our local non-judged guild shows, I do not 'credit' those extraneous "helpers" unless it's maybe a long-armer who has done an unusually interesting job, as in
other than a pantograph or overall meandering design, and I want to promote her work in the community.
I'm really enjoying this topic and appreciate Holice's astute comments!
