Then why not label it with a year and the name of the exhibit. (copyright symbol, 2009, L.A.C.E. Day). Perhaps that will give the maker some credit through associationbut you have a very valid point. Remember: even though the lace designer has a copyright on the lace, you have the

Thanks, Cearbhael! Are you referring to the medallion shawl in the Gossamer Webs Design Collection? I was thinking of trying that one myself. It's not symmetrical? Hmmm. Will have to take a closer look at the charts. Did you see the photos of the real Orenburg shawls that my officemate's grandmoth

My view on the issue of pirated photos is this: anyone who posts photos of someone else's work without giving credit is a thief, pure and simple. It is either an attempt to make it look as if one has skills and knowledge that one doesn't have, or laziness and slovenliness about recording who made

If you want to watermark your lace photos with your name and date and a copyright symbol, I recommend Picasa, It's a great photo organizer and it's free. It also does a good job of photo-editing (cropping, straightening, retouching, removing red eye) and special effects (soft focus, black&white, se

If I may reply to this. I was just impressed to see all the lace. I have bookmarked the site so that I can look at it slowly and appreciate each piece. It also gave me ideas so I can look for those patterns and try them myself. Please don't make her feel bad and take the site off the internet.

Hello All! I am the least knowledgable person to help in this area, however, apparently there is some way to prevent photos from being "lifted" from your site. I often save web photos for personal use in the future because of lost links, broken links, websites moved etc. etc. but I can recall

Hi Lacemakers, One of the things you can do to protect your copy right of the laces on your websites is to open your photos in a program that allow you to add words to the photo and re-save it with your name on it. You can add, for example: (copyright symbol) 2009 SJohnson to the face of the phot
