In addition to designing beaded jewelry I am a grad student, so I frequently see similar problems pop up in student writing. There is definitely a widespread lack of understanding of copyright and what qualifies as plagiarism. I think it is awesome that members of the beading community are taking a role in educating people about these issues and helping to protect all kinds of creative output.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502351480653950734.post-55077371181556384062013-09-03T13:42:41.228-07:002013-09-03T13:42:41.228-07:00Since I do not write patterns, I am finding it har...Since I do not write patterns, I am finding it hard to post this message. My ideas are still mine, and I don't want people to use them without my permission. I have had my work copied sitich for stitch, and I have also just had my ideas copied to make work that looks different from mine. The latter I am always OK with, but the former poses a challenge for me. How ever does a designer ask for respect for their ideas, when those ideas are not written down and published? This is a band wagon I will happily follow, but I don't see a reasonable way to climb aboard. :)<br />Marsha Wiest-Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481754729084714643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502351480653950734.post-81758211713949857172013-09-03T08:58:17.733-07:002013-09-03T08:58:17.733-07:00Amen, hallelujah.

I had never looked at the instructor's web site or seen any work beyond the ad for the class. I am humbled to say it was the awesome Heidi Kummli. We all get lucky sometimes! Is my work inspired by her work? You betcha. I admire and respect her skills, that's why I paid to learn them. We also live in the same area and I am inspired by similar things. Does my work look like a copy of hers? Only the items I made in her classes, which are for my personal wear, not for sale.<br />I will proudly display the designers alliance logo on facebook and my website. People need to know about copy rights and that copying is stealing.<br />I have only purchased one tutorial, from Mikki Ferrugiaro, for a series of complicated rope peyote designs that have been intimidating me for weeks from my resource shelf. ;)<br />We really do need to assist other beaders, both with technique and education.<br />Thanks for a great blog, Marcia.rocknrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413756765251514712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502351480653950734.post-79697076850676524922013-09-03T03:55:33.819-07:002013-09-03T03:55:33.819-07:00Thoughtful and well written as always.
