I know how frustrating this is as I have been through it myself... but one piece of advice I'd give is that posting her information on your blog will attract attention to her, and as they say in the PR world, any publicity is good publicity. It would be a shame if she ended up making sales as a result of clicks to your site to hers. Just a thought. Carry on. Copying is rampant, but innovation, quality craftsmanship, and excellent customer service will prevail in the end.Lulu Jewelshttp://www.lulujewels.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33799751.post-45643534035279656262009-11-19T17:23:13.115-08:002009-11-19T17:23:13.115-08:00That's pretty blatant!

SHe is obviously not going to let anyone write her a message. So, if you did this, maybe she would see it and not do it again for stealing the design. Also I do not think blogger can do anything, its not offensive to the general public and I think thats how they determine what material to delete, but who might be able to do something would be etsy?? Is this design on etsy?

You had no right to bead this cuff without her permission. To make this right, you should purchase her pattern here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33953679<br /><br />Just because you can discern a pattern from pictures does not mean it is right to do so. In most circles this is considered THEFT! It is equally outrageous that you don't credit her with the design and let your readers think you came up with this on your own.Carol Dean Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17163930598784445612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33799751.post-55262320617341371062009-11-17T17:22:34.935-08:002009-11-17T17:22:34.935-08:00Sorry this happened MaryLou.
