: : I not sure I should dare to comment but I thought your website was : nice. Now with any luck I won't find out you've deceived any other : henna artists in the making of it and get people all upset just : because I dare to comment that the pictures are pretty. I thought it : was interesting that the designs you copied from your books were some : of the same ones I had copied. Nice work. Did you design the : website yourself? If so what software did you use? : Shanon : : I am curious as to what my fellow mehndi artists take on this is. If : : you were to purchase books such as Loretta Roome's, Sumita Batra's, : : Catherine's and such...and you used these designs when giving : Mehndi : : to your customers (because we all know how customers can be, they : see : : a book and they go bonkers for the gorgeous designs and they want : to : : look JUST like the models in the book) are you infringing upon any : : Copyrighting issues????? My take on the whole thing is if my : : customers at festivals or in the salon like something in a book and : : want me to replicate it, I will. Every design I do is my : perception : : of what the design is, it's not a carbon copy...I'm good, but I'm : not : : a computer for God's sake. I just recently had this conversation : with : : a fellow henna artist (supposedly) who thinks I am less talented : : because I have pictures on my website of designs "INSPIRED" by : many : : of the books I have purchased over the years. This happens ALL the : : time, when I'm cruising around looking through different henna art : : galleries, and I know my patterns, but I don't think less of the : : artists because the patterns were from a book.. : : I am really interested to know what you guys think. I respect your : : opions, and I'd love for you to check out my site and see if it's : done : : in good taste. I think it is.......... :) : : Thanks, : : MyST : : http://mehndimy
