I'm probably not going to be a club member tho. I have such limited beading time that if I am making your work, there is no time to make my own! But if I did not design for myself, the contract seems a very reasonable request for a 40% discount.Marsha Wiest-Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481754729084714643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-61828202518582389742011-05-08T09:48:43.260-07:002011-05-08T09:48:43.260-07:00Thanks :)

With the internet our shopping capabilities are now worldwide and any new laws that eventually get onto the books will reflect this I think. Key word there is "eventually" so anything we can do in the meantime will help.<br />Pam, the PUCC program is for people just like you :)Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939739757623364406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-61076657252770682182011-05-08T07:28:22.560-07:002011-05-08T07:28:22.560-07:00I would be willing to sign such a contract to get ...I would be willing to sign such a contract to get 40% off, and a reasonable price for a personal use pattern. I never sell my work nor have I designed anything that amounted to much. However, I love to implement others designs and can't afford to pay commercial rates. A promise from me would be a promise kept.Pam Chesbrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121335971253885039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-80820816034476508842011-05-08T02:33:14.280-07:002011-05-08T02:33:14.280-07:00The bracelet looks pretty.

I also understand the "old and tired" - I belonged to two artist groups in my area after I retired and soon found myself with volunteer roles that took up almost a day a week - don't have the time. I did take a shot at writing Ravelry to see if they would add a new category for beading - nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am expecting a "no". Oh well....AuntieAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831879078774412264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-86019481425449469232011-05-07T09:51:52.129-07:002011-05-07T09:51:52.129-07:00Annie, I just don't think designers would use ...Annie, I just don't think designers would use it. Given the input so far on what I wrote this morning it's lots of well wishes but no one wants to follow suit. If it works for me they might, but to be honest I'm not going to do any of it on my own, I don't have the time and it depresses me to have to lead all the time, I'm too old and too tired. I wrote about my PUCC idea to get input from people...beaders who would sign up and designers who would follow suit...two hours in it's disappointing and making me want to chuck it all again. But as I think my commercial prices are as good as a lot of personal use prices I'm not going to worry about it. I don't want the stress of people stealing my work and this is what I can do about it. It would be nice if designers could come together and do something jointly but I think in general people tend to watch the people who rock the boat and only get aboard after they've seen the boat didn't sink.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939739757623364406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-631554290635970802011-05-07T08:38:23.777-07:002011-05-07T08:38:23.777-07:00Please don't discard the central registry idea...Please don't discard the central registry idea. I looked at Ravelry again. It has the structure all set up for knitters and crocheters. I believe it would be a very simple matter for that site to add a section for beaders - a simple matter, I am thinking of copying the code and stucture of the site to add another craft venue. Many of the patterns incorporate beading on ravelry - and many, many people if the bead also knit or crochet. <br /><br />The person who coded the site is listed and I wondered how he would react if he were contacted - if the site were broadened it would increase the revenue stream for them through advertising and it would be a wonderful boon for all us beaders. :-)<br /><br />I wanted to write you about this earlier, but I am trying to get ready to move and am clearing out 31 years of detritus.AuntieAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831879078774412264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-20675111503055754222011-05-07T08:33:44.066-07:002011-05-07T08:33:44.066-07:00Wow!

I've only had one pattern published (though copied multiple times), so I can only imagine the frustration you and Carol Dean have had with all the infringers. Maybe if there were something like this, I wouldn't be so afraid to start selling tutorials for my patterns.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503148560467118087noreply@blogger.com
