I'm impressed by your work and like it very much.<br /><br />As for image theft, I've had it happen many times, usually discovering it quite unexpectedly in google searches. Sometimes the use has been so blatant, as when an artist painted from a photo belonging to me, but the composition, color, crop, style: everything! looked exactly like the original. It always leaves me with a really bad feeling and I'm glad I post only small images on the web. So that and the fact that my name is on them, offers SOME protection from the images being printed, at least.<br /><br />Why is it that some people seem to have no conscience about such things? It's especially inexcusable when they themselves do creative endeavors for which they seek validation or remuneration, yet they willingly plunder the images of others!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306328435488117723.post-64922637050564951522010-06-08T20:14:51.226-07:002010-06-08T20:14:51.226-07:00sorry for what happened,

It irritates me to no end to think there are people who pass themselves off as creative and are actually using the creativity of others. As you have heard from others it seems to happen a lot, however that doesn't make it right. When a blog post was lifted from me a while back, I promptly wrote an email to the offender who removed the offense from her site. I then watermarked everything, although in your case a watermark would not have made any difference. Sad, so sad! If I were you, I would write a letter/email to the award giver as well as the quilter making it clear you are aware of what has gone on and will also make their names known via your own networking capabilities if amends are not made on this issue. It is wrong and you need to stand up for yourself and other honest artists. You don't want a reputation for letting this slip aside. <br /><br />Very best of luck, and I will be eager to hear about the outcome. Your work is exceptional - stand up for it!Kimhttp://kimrodefferfunk.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306328435488117723.post-81735674469697547132010-06-05T06:41:35.826-07:002010-06-05T06:41:35.826-07:00Hello Annie...

People grossly devalue an original by disregarding its ownership rights.<br /><br />I have written a similar article on my art-blog a week back. Thanks for sharing your resources. I'm an Indian sculptor... and I'm afraid that our laws back here do not protect a visual artwork as stringently as they secure literary works.<br /><br />I like your blog too. Nice thoughts, and a well-spaced layout... soothing to the eye, pleasant to the mind. Keep it going!<br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />~ Hemant Sonawane<br />professional Sculptor & Fine Artist<br />Mumbai, INDIA<br /><br /><br />http://www.hemantsonawane.com/<br />http://hemantsonawane.blogpot.com/Hemant Sonawane's Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540686575861845202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306328435488117723.post-30334216428517202122010-06-05T06:16:49.598-07:002010-06-05T06:16:49.598-07:00Hi Annie,

I can truly sympathize with your anger since I've had it happen to me also.<br /><br />I do have a couple of questions though--how do you know that they copied your design--they may well have--but quilting can be such a different medium from painting and the design concept of trees and fields is something that many people including myself have been working on independently. (Don't worry my work is very different from yours but I am fascinated by the concept of fields stretching to the horizon delineated by trees or barns.)Ann Brauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570155886420698848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306328435488117723.post-65967405242097901272010-06-05T05:57:41.432-07:002010-06-05T05:57:41.432-07:00May I post this on my site?
