It was brought to my attention tonight that Diane Dennis is the "original" designer of this lovely piece which was published some time ago in a bead magazine.
When I bead something I NOW try very hard to give the designer credit for their pattern.
(Just because I display a piece of work I have finished does not mean that the piece is MY orginal design or that I am teaching that pattern.)
This beautiful necklace, however, was beaded by me as a brand new excited beader who had NO knowledge of the "rules of the game" or the "ethics" of giving credit where credit is due.
I sincerely apologize, Diane, for not knowing, as a new beader, at the time that this is the proper and correct way of doing things . I did not go back and correct each picture of each piece and I am sorry for the misunderstanding this has caused you.
I still do NOT teach or copy a design, on purpose, that someone else has already published.
Please check out the great works of Diane Dennis

Sweet Sharon, I am sure your apology will be accepted:) I think your work is beautiful! Have a blessed evening dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteHI Sharon, Just wanted to say that it was very thoughtful of you to make this blogpost acknowledging the designer. It is easy to understand that many of us are unaware of what the ethics/etiquette is when we start out.
ReplyDeleteAlso I am sorry for your loss and hope that the beads will bring you healing and comfort as time passes.
