Take a look. How could I as a paper crafter improve on those feather designs?
These are perfect for our little window display at the local scrapbook shop for March. However, you just can't steal someone's design and ignore copyright.
So as the ever diligent and ethical window designer for the only paper craft store on the Sunshine Coast I asked a simple question to the designer Lia Griffith. Am I breaking copyright by either using her design for a window display or incorporating the one feather as an embellishment for the Graphic 45 "Botanical Tea" birdhouse box class I've designed?
The answer no as long as I and the scrapbook shop owner credit her work and link back to her beautiful designs on her website. Well that's not hard Lia Griffith - I visit your site weekly.
Now this brings me to copycat not copy right. You just cannot take someone's work and pass it off as your own.
Today, I received her permission to use one feather from her design. Lia Griffith you rock!
And that's why Lia's "handcraft your life" means so much to me.
