I see it this way: if a pricking is published with the intent that a reader would use it to produce a piece of lace, then the designer would not own copyright to the resulting piece, the one you made and hold in your hand; the pattern, yes, the lace itself no - because the pattern is intended as a means to an end that is not unique - it is meant for anyone (any lacemaker) to use, and the results will vary even minutely, with each lacemaker (unlike an original artwork, which is unique to the artist). So - I think posting a picture of your lace made from someone else's design, on the web, is not violating copyright. It would be fraudulent if you give the impression that the lace is your original design - so to protect your self and give due credit, clearly state the source of the pattern. bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
