I have to agree with Linda here. Keep drawing, keep putting
beautiful stuff out there and that will eventually win out over the
ugly toxic stuff.

I think that as soon as you put your designs in a public place like
the internet, you open yourself up to be used. I like Linda's
suggestion that you invite people to use your designs but ask them to
email you about it first. I have your designs in my book and I make
sure to mention your name as the artist (though if you could tell me
your whole name I will put that in my book next to your designs).

The woman who had your designs at her henna booth had all the ones
that I saw the last time I visited plus some others that I had never
seen. She had about 20 of your designs. I haven't been able to
visit your site in the last month because of a new firewall thingy
here at my job so maybe the ones I didn't recognize were just new
ones you put up recently. When I saw that she had a full set of your
drawings I thought that maybe you had sent them to her. I didn't
talk to her because she had a big crowd around her.

I don't think she copied them or printed them directly from your
website (there weren't footers at the bottoms of the pages) so she
may have just copied them freehand into her book. If that's the
case, putting a watermark on your images wouldn't really help.
