I totally understand where you're coming from....
You don't want your designs to be compromised by some Booh Hoo big
corporation who's going to mass market your designs.
I think, and please excuse my passionate writing, that you are
totally wrong. If you request to have your name on each copyrighted
material made, ie stencil, you'll help through your designs bring
henna & the art of menhdi to the mass population out there. Isn't
this what we all want? Don't we all want everyone out there to be
aware of henna and to use it once in a while?
Don't do the mistake of all the henna artists in the past centuries
that let it become dust until we've come to revive it!
I'd say you should go forth with it... even if it is to be able to
walk into a big store one day and see one of your designs on the
shelf, even if it doesn't bare your name on it, and have in your
heart the joy of having created something long-lasting that many
people would spend their precious dollars to acquire & use it
because it looks cool. That sense of achievement is priceless.
