Copyright of Designs - Yay!!

[ethel&edna]

With all the horror stories about copying designs flying around the world of blogdom at the moment I have a happier tale to tell.

I emailed the lady who designed the Silly Girls (http://www.flickr.com/photos/23202798@N04/2373388823/in/set-72157603799215659/)I made to enquire about using her designs and...

'the lady from Del Monte she said YES'.

For a very small fee I can buy the rights to her designs and produce them to sell in the UK. Yay!!! Could these be my first items to go on etsy?...

:D:D:D:D

That`s good news. Copyright is a mine field and quite rightly so.


I have to be very careful with copyright on embroidery designs. I know there are an awful lot of "free" designs on the internet but you can never establish the providence of them so I buy them. With the pound being so strong against the dollar, I get good deals in the USA and then have them emailed over.


Another hurdle out of the way, eh??

Sadly it's not them, it's the 'boggle-eyed primitive dolls' :0) that I've had the OK for. Have also emailed the belly dancer doll lady but I'm not as hopeful on that score. Will just have to keep everything crossed.

D'oh! silly me - You even put silly girls! Hope you hear back from the other lady. x
Still great news though ;)
