Heidi, i can understand the angst of being accused of copying, when it's just mere coincidences that both you and the other sculptor think alike.
It's one fact artists are jumpy about copied works with the our works now being so readliy available on the internet, but it's another that i frown on about accusing someone else of copying, unless he's Michelangelo! Even so, i believe he should have gotten his facts right.
Well it's a good thing you have pictures to support your working process and your work. An animal painter friend of mine got sued in court for a similar reason, and he had no case because he had whipped up the original image that he painted from - photographed by himself! Case dismissed!
The chinese have a saying, "Real Gold never fear no fiery fire" which meant that true talents stands true to all odds. Even if he does spread rumors about you, you will still be able to stand tall in your circle.
