My lovely visitors this morning….

06/28/2026

I have a friend whose original designs are being copied by many, many artists. I would imagine her income is being affected by the copy. Although I’m not sure what can be done about it, how does a person protect their original designs?

Any kind comments are appreciated.

I want the world to know this is my original design. I came up with this bracelet design myself, and I make hat trim too out of it. Nobody has made this design before me, so I claim it.

I guess the one thing my friend can take from all this is that she has a wonderful design enough so that people want to copy it to make money from it.

Thanks for your kind input!
