My Thoughts on Having My Ideas Copied

post from The Polka Dot Closet on 17 February 2011 10:34:52 PM. © The Polka Dot Closet

I had never given given this a thought until a SWEET, SWEET, blogger and online store owner and I were corresponding about projects. We were talking about how much we like the same style and often the same projects. She said "Oh I was so worried you would think I was copying you".
What! I have one thought about anyone that would copy any of my projects..........
THANK YOU! I AM FLATTERED!
The thought that anyone would think anything I did was worthy of replicating truly blows my mind!
Certainly She was not talking about the "Ugly Blue Box" (Which has already sold, go figure!)

I was thrilled around the holidays when I saw some candlesticks similar to mine for sale.

The reason I don't care is I figure the chances that any of us have the same customer base is pretty slim and If I could help anyone increase their sales I would be thrilled.
Now, If I don't want something out there I won't post about it. When I knew Romantic Homes Magazine was going to do an article on my "Vintage Framed Paper Dolls"

I did not blog about, Put it in my web store, or my antiques booth until the magazine was out.

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND PEOPLE THAT DO NOT WANT THEIR WORK COPIED
So many people have a totally unique product or style. They are also trying to make a living and feed themselves and their families!! This has to be respected!
I'm Just saying, ME, I am flattered!
I would love to know your thoughts on this topic!
Does it flatter you or upset you when people replicate your work?
Inquiring minds want to know

Octatrack Hands-on Videos Begin to Appear,
Featuring New Elektron Super-Sampler in Action

Elektron’s Octatrack sampler is shipping to producer’s hands, bringing this multitrack, time-stretching, step-sequenced, modulation-packing digital sampling hardware to real-world music-making. The results make comparisons like “Ableton in a box” seem pretty fair – and give you more an idea of what the thing does than Elektron’s bizarre (and wonderful) short science fiction film, which seemed … Continue →
