This is a website with lots of lace information including lace ID pics, lace stamps and lace postcards, BUT at the very bottom of the very long page there are three English bone bobbins - they are MINE! The pictures have been taken from my website without my having been asked for permission and without any credits.

OK, there's a language issue; even though I can get the gist of what all the writing on that web page is about I wouldn't be able to read an email in Flemish, let alone write and complain!

I do take the view that anything that's published on the web goes into the public domain, and I've yet to try saying no if asked if something of mine can be copied, but it would have been nice to have been asked. I wonder how many other images on that site have been copied from elsewhere? Some of the modern lace pieces look familiar!

The website looks to have been put together semi-professionally with lots of clever effects, so all the more reason to expect at least an acknowledgement of where the pictures originate. There is however a big design weakness in that it's one huge page, with lots of big, uncompressed graphics so it takes ages to load even with broadband. In the process of rotating the bobbin with my daughter's wedding date on it's gone from being 40Kb on my website to 284Kb on this blog site!
