Then you can put on the little art tag "inspired by [insert title of original piece] by Robins", and anyone who asks, you essentially are promoting the original artist. <BR/><BR/>And THEN, you can also say that you're not going to reproduce the work for profit; you're not going to sell the work; you just want one in your house, but you'd like to make it yourself because that's just the kind of girl you are. <BR/><BR/>No, ideas aren't copyrighted, but as soon as they're expressed, they are, according to the copyright lawyer at our last professional development session.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14090396.post-1129491648606584672005-10-16T12:40:00.000-07:002005-10-16T12:40:00.000-07:00... and let's not forget that in the San Francisco...... and let's not forget that in the San Francisco Bay Area, Ms Skopik has no basement to put such a beast in.<BR/><BR/>Bizzare.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273114463009087897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14090396.post-1129466042437991262005-10-16T05:34:00.000-07:002005-10-16T05:34:00.000-07:00Yeah, I get the creativity/relaxation/etc part of ...Yeah, I get the creativity/relaxation/etc part of it - I used to sew parachutes for a living, remember? (I was always after a programmable pattern tacker to speed things up. Never got it, but I did get a puller for my twin needle machine. )<BR/>But think of the geek factor of having a 3KVA, 1.5 metric ton Knit-O-Matic humming away doing the boring bits. Hook it up to the main computer, too. You can hand-knit the prototype and then turn it loose. <BR/><BR/>And lets hear about some knitting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14090396.post-1129441064490663682005-10-15T22:37:00.000-07:002005-10-15T22:37:00.000-07:00Mammatus Clouds!So that's what's they're called! ...Mammatus Clouds!<BR/><BR/>So that's what's they're called! I have some photos of them from after a rain storm at camp, but they're not *quite* as impressive as those collected by that fellow.<BR/><BR/>As hard to believe as it may seem--the photos are incredible--the clouds are an order of magnitude even more awesome (earlier meaning of the word implied) to see in Real Life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14090396.post-1129336026281351842005-10-14T17:27:00.000-07:002005-10-14T17:27:00.000-07:00Hah!

Maybe my next post *will* be a knitting post, just to show you what you're missing...<BR/><BR/>And no, I'm not going to get a knitting machine any time soon even if I had a basement.
