Clarifying "Inspiration" post of June 24th

Just want to clarify something. In my June 24th post I talked a lot about making notes on other people's work. I do NOT copy other people's art. I get inspiration from textures, colors, design elements - then go home and use the ideas in a totally different medium. I don't think this is a bad thing. I believe it's the intention of the publishers. I scorn people who cruise craft fairs and art galleries and then go home to make the same thing "better." Boo-hiss on plagiarism.

Am I wrong here? Tell me what you think.
