I only recently became aware of it as a holiday, when our swap group did it as a theme. I didn't join, but I loved the pics of the pieces, and the meaning behind it all. Since then I've discovered that one of my friends makes sugar skulls, and how cool is that?! Dying to try it!

I have been dying to find a tutorial that I can afford (after all the investment in supplies, free is about all I'm able to afford right now) that is TEACHING rather than just showing off. I've looked high and low and FINALLY I've found you girl! Thank you SO very much for not trying to make a killing off desperate newbies; but being such a generous person instead, with what is already obviously a gift you've been graced with. Thank you in advance again. I'll comment again later (after I experience the wonderful tutorial everyone's raving about),but for now I'm going to try to figure out how to access this wonderful tutorial so; here goes....I'm off to bead land.Lorraine Braysaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615718001072286060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776942134522815144.post-77884805986056247322011-03-22T16:15:44.745-07:002011-03-22T16:15:44.745-07:00Thank you for offering these tutorials Perri.

How interesting. <br /><br />Now to the point. In this case, the person didn't just simply make items and sell them - they subsequently wrote a tutorial on the same design elements they learned. Big difference.<br /><br />If somehow you got the plans from Ford company to a Ford F150 and built it - would you now own the design, or just the truck? Same concept. <br />And yes, after you made it, it could probably be sold, but you couldn't claim it was your design - in fact, I'd bet that Ford would have your head (legally speaking) if they found out you did.<br /><br />The difference between Ford and small jewelry designers? The money to pursue the issue. Which makes this kind of thing far more ugly.<br /> <br />BTW- I didn't state that items made from tutorials could not be sold. According to my legal counsel, copyright law states that is an individual designer's decision to make - but one does need to ask. Most tutorial writers that I know of allow that - I know I do.<br /><br />Question: Would you let someone else in your office take credit for the budget you created? <br /><br />You just gave general credit to the professors for their work right here on my blog - and chances are that most of what they taught you was information that comes under the heading of 'prior knowledge' - and they had the bibliography in the back of your texts to prove it. That simple acknowledgment is all that is needed, and it is kind and courteous to give it.<br /><br />But if you were taught with texts they wrote with original work, and you then wrote a book on making a budget using *any part* of that work - you had better get permission from them to use it, and cite them in your bibliography - otherwise, they have a perfect case for violation of copyright. Not my opinion, fact.<br /><br />As I mentioned earlier, I always give permission for making finished articles from my tutorials - however, I also state that the maker cannot claim the design as their own - because I did not sell them the design - I sold them the instructions - and there is a large difference between the two.<br /><br />I suggest you go talk to the estate of Frank Lloyd Wright and see how far you get with your argument on whether a building designer (architect) still owns their designs once they sell the building plans. <br />Builders are sometimes architects - but generally, they *buy* their plans from architects. However, plans are NOT the design itself - the architect still owns that. The person who makes a house from the plans cannot claim to be the designer unless they created the design. <br />Copyright law says no one else except that architect has the right to create those plans for that design. <br />Only works for hire are an exception to that rule - for example, the builder employed the architect to create a specific design and plans for their new custom homes. <br /><br />As for my tutorials - no one hired to me to create a specific design and subsequent set of instructions for their personal use and no one else. I created a design and wrote instructions - then offered the instructions for sale - the people who bought the instructions got permission from me to re-create the design with their materials. They own that piece, not my design.<br /><br />Again, not opinion, fact - according to my legal counsel.<br /><br />PerriPerri www.ShaktipajDesigns.etsy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142497366790866555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776942134522815144.post-56938929615675360792011-01-04T06:48:44.955-08:002011-01-04T06:48:44.955-08:00So if someone purchases a tutorial, they are not a...So if someone purchases a tutorial, they are not allowed to go forward and create the item to sell? I understand that credit should be given where credit is due. However, when someone sells a tutorial, they should expect that their item may be produced and that it may be produced for profit. There are many jewelry designers out there that want to learn their craft very well, while making money at it. <br /><br />When I became a Manager, I prepared for the role by taking classes. I received my MBA and have the Professors to thank for their teaching of the material. However, I don't put in my Memo's or Written Correspondence, I'd like to Thank Mr. So and So for showing me how to create a Budget.<br /><br />My opinion is that you should list your inspiration because credit should be given where credit is due and especially if they look exactly the same. However, if it is sold as a tutorial, no one should get upset at their design being reproduced for profit. They sold their design, much as a builder sells his plans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776942134522815144.post-79931418046900140032010-11-06T15:36:05.524-07:002010-11-06T15:36:05.524-07:00Thanks folks -

Please don't coz people like me, a newbie, thrive on your comments and inspiration. <br />I know that with the happenings in this last few months,made you feel "disheartened" but guess what,there is a blessing in disguise. People are now cautious of their designs. They are made aware of the need to quote the artists that they got the inspiration from or who they copied it from. It's evolving for the good. I'm sure and hope...<br />So please come back,i await eagerly for your new designs and tutorials.
