I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but hopefully a lot of you will see it.  I have a studio on ArtFire.com called CreativeCritters and recently made a very large sale.  The woman (Tonya Pendley) paid with a check, which I found out later was written on a closed account.  She's done this to several artists.  The details can be read on my blog.  I wanted to warn other artists to watch out for this woman, so they don't end up losing money and items they've worked hard to create.  So to all my fellow artists out there BE CAREFUL and do NOT accept any checks from Tonya Pendley!
