Great Minds Think Alike - and Make Great Lenses
Well, this lens is an homage to those lensmasters who have created content that I would have if they didn't. In most cases, I'll have to concede that theirs are probably better than mine would have been. :)
So, check 'em out, and let them know what a great job they did!

This is such a cute idea, thanks for putting it together. Just today when I was visiting around the new angel lenses to say congratulations (congratulations!) I saw one about "Mothering Sunday," an English holiday that some really beautiful songs have been written about. I recorded one of them a while back and was thinking of doing a lens to support the song, but then I saw - it's covered...

Yeah I know how this feels! I was going to do one about Zazzle, but so many people have done that, I decided not to bother. And I didn't find out somebody already did a Delilah lens until after I had mine created! As a general rule, if I know somebody already made a lens about something and did a better job than I could ever do, I'll just fave their lens and move on.

This is a great topic! Well, when I did my lens on the original Amazon Kindle, I thought I was being original -- and then I saw SO many lenses on that topic -- Ooops ... I wanted to write about it because I bought it when it first was available. I was so excited about getting it that I sent my hubby home to check our front door to see if the UPS guy had left it. I try to be original as much as possible.

I used to feel that if a lens had already been done then I just wouldn't make a lens about that subject. I think that experience has told me that if I find something I really want to write about though I just do it in another way.

What a clever idea and a nice way to spotlight other's lenses! Thank you so much for spotlighting my soy lens too! And I agree with MysticMama that sometimes I go search lenses and think, "I can do better than that" and make one anyway...but you have so many ideas I'm sure you can come up with more. 5*

This was such a clever idea for a lens and yes, I have had it happen to me many times. It is fun, however to see the different takes that people have on certain topics. FYI: This looks like Giant quality to me. Very creative.

Fun Lens! I agree with mysticmama- I'd try and approach the subject from a different angle and add a bit of what's unique to me in it e.g. I'd make some art about the subject. There's a lens I really want to make about an artist but a lot of lenses have been made about this person so I'm going to make some art based on them and put it into the lens and see if that works. I have way too much time on my hands!
