WOW! Pretty flippin’ bold! I would contact the store and inform them that their instructor is teaching a class that is copyrighted to you and does NOT have your permission to duplicate and teach! The store can be held liable for her actions, so I would ask that they pull that from their class listings immediately!

Man. You know I don’t know nuthin, but it sure looks the same to me, though not as pretty.

As you say its a crummy photo but it certainly looks the same! Looking at the schedule the Ice bracelet isn’t the only familiar looking one. I hear this so often but I really don’t know what the answer is…all the while talented artists produce original pieces theres always going to be someone out there who’s going to ‘borrow’ the design!! It sucks!!

I cannot believe that anyone would be this brazen… although her photo is clearly inferior to yours, if you look at the detail in the back, you can tell that the same pattern and technique has been used. I for one, as a fellow bead artist, intend to write to this individual. This is the kind of unethical infringment that we, as true designers and artists are unfortunately subjected to when it comes to unsrupulous individuals. I call on everyone who reads this blog, to contact this person and insist that she remove this item from her “inventory”, and stop selling it as her work. We, as true artists and designers, know the countless hours that go into many of these designs. She ought to be ashamed!!!
