Well done Holice with your info - in this electronic day and age "intellectual property" is very much in the news - copyright always remains with the original artist who came up with the idea - sometimes we need a person's/company's permission to reproduce (especially if one intends to sell the item) and, if we vary something with or without permission we must still give credit to the original artist (whether we know the person or not Pam, which is why I named one of my quilts "Anna Bella Variation" though I forgot to include the name of the designer!!)
