I think it is a great showcase but I have made a conscious decision to share my work. <br /><br />However in all honesty what I do is not original, I know that I could google any of my tutorials and find something similar which is why I choose to share. I come up with ideas in my little truckle bed, make it and write the tutorial... and then I go and look hoping that mine is better written than the others.<br /><br />Often I see something and think I can make it better or different or with a better function... and sometimes I actually do!<br /><br />Finally, lovely to see the new blog... I shall be following with interest :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101768649825667000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736954765538329701.post-8800669307640409402012-03-08T10:17:21.463+00:002012-03-08T10:17:21.463+00:00I agree Wendy- it's flattering if someone is i...I agree Wendy- it's flattering if someone is inspired by what you do, but if they literally copy and try to sell it on as their own idea then to me it's just stealing! <br />It's about people having respect for others' work, realising they may have taken quite a lot of time and effort into forming the idea, or even coming up with the method. Sharing ideas and spurring on each other's creativity is a lovely thing, but helping yourself to what other people have put blood, sweat and tears into and giving them no credit for it is really not.Myth Illogicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07425792499511051099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736954765538329701.post-74059081233902915052012-03-07T18:22:34.211+00:002012-03-07T18:22:34.211+00:00Polly Polkadot: The 10 Downing St idea sounds cool...Polly Polkadot: The 10 Downing St idea sounds cool - no, that's not copying (unless you intend building an actual house...!!). I know what you mean about a chain of ideas - ideas can drive me mad at times. <br /><br />Mythillogical: I think it's good to be inspired by other people's work. It's just not good to copy something that someone makes a living from. Copying from a tutorial, pattern, etc., is different.<br /><br />Love the discussion coming from this - I think there's still a lot to say on this subject!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383618809187116026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736954765538329701.post-8035093338901926762012-03-07T14:08:03.849+00:002012-03-07T14:08:03.849+00:00If you're making something inspired and not an...If you're making something inspired and not an exact copy then technically it's research!Myth Illogicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07425792499511051099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736954765538329701.post-34348987793336549862012-03-07T12:59:50.915+00:002012-03-07T12:59:50.915+00:00I have a piccy of 10 Dowling St on my pinterest - ...I have a piccy of 10 Dowling St on my pinterest - my intention is to make a piece of jewellery inspired by it!

(sounds rather like I'm complimenting your legs...)<br />I don't mind the idea of people 'borrowing' my ideas to use as a springboard, or even having a go at replicating for their own satisfaction- so long as they don't try to pass it off entirely as their own....or do it better or make more money out of it than I do ;)Myth Illogicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07425792499511051099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736954765538329701.post-74191036526013865422012-03-07T08:59:28.082+00:002012-03-07T08:59:28.082+00:00Yes, I totally agree Penny - and how sad that peop...Yes, I totally agree Penny - and how sad that people do sometimes get so possessive over their designs that the key and cupboard seem tempting! <br /><br />I think the links back are so useful - and it's a fab place to collect things like tutorials.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383618809187116026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736954765538329701.post-85015930364741997742012-03-07T08:43:14.322+00:002012-03-07T08:43:14.322+00:00I've read all the concerns about Pinterest but...I've read all the concerns about Pinterest but I think if you've put it 'out there' then who knows who is copying it. The only way to keep your designs, ideas etc safe is to lock them in a cupboard and throw away the key! As the images have a link back to the website they've been pinned from I think it's a great reference tool, and you can easily go back to the tutorial when you need it. I've noticed I get loads of links back to Planet Penny every day through Pinterest. Yes, and the down side is the fact it's so hard to tear yourself away! <br />Penny xPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292050209658686142noreply@blogger.com
