We thought inspiration was/is more important than complete recipes. (Some of our monthly contributions have yarn/sett, others have not.)<br />- I'm totally with you when it comes to "copy", but I like to think that I can give inspiration. Thus, ppl who ask to photo my work always get permission, but if they get out the measuring tape I say no! <br />Myself - if I see something I like, I look at it good and long. The next day (not until then) I make sketches - that way, only what I remember gets in the sketch. Which hopefully means my "interpretation" will get to be quite different from the "original"...Kerstin på Spinnhusethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417606744435651656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931657983109057026.post-9988751593019219872012-02-22T12:17:10.740+01:002012-02-22T12:17:10.740+01:00What a great idea for a national challenge. I'...What a great idea for a national challenge. I've just been thinking about the business of sharing drafts since someone emailed me the other day and asked for the draft of something I had woven. I really didn't want to share that draft since it was from a special piece which I had designed for an exhibition, but at the same time it wasn't especially complicated and I reckoned someone else could easily derive the same thing if they thought about it. So I directed her instead to the reference material which I had used!<br /><br />I have been pondering on the reaction I had to this correspondence as it was driven by my original intention in the weaving. If I design something with the <b>intention</b> to publish then it is quite different from being asked to share the "secrets" of a personal piece of work. To be honest, I didn't like the feeling of someone saying "I want to copy your work" (though I am not sure she realised it was an original design), but on the other hand I was perfectly happy to explain the principles and set someone else off on the same path... So I can sympathise with those who feel awkward about it - perhaps they have had some experiences which made them uncomfortable - but it still seems like a great idea to me.Callyhttp://callybooker.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
