: : 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. : As a dancer we have the same problem with other dancer's : cheorgraphies, I normally keep the website address source on my : printout in my book. and I put who the artist is and I mostly use : them as a guideline,and practice on paper at home. I only bring the : designs I can draw effecently. mostly I print them to get ideas and : inspiration my hennaing is more hobby pretty much with an occasional : festival or private parties in CT. Just remember those black death : mongers eventually will get the "cosmic karma kick me sign". Hey, : that would make a cool bumber sticker:) blessings to all, Christine
