First of all, if I'm recreating a painting or a drawing in fabric, it's already not an exact copy. But, like you said, better to steal from many or to be inspired by an artist's style and emulate/explore that in some way rather than attempt to totally duplicate what they created. Of course the end use of the quilt has bearing on the Do's and Do Not's as well. If you recreate someone else's work in fabric for a quilt that you want to enter into a major show, you are going to need to get permission from the artist (if living) or their estate, whoever owns the rights to the original work, and it would be a major bummer to have spent 6 months to a year on a show quilt only to find out after the fact that the artist won't give you permission! But I could see wanting to create as exact of a replica as possible if it was something like your favorite Picasso that is hanging in a museum and you want to hang that in your own home, but of course there's no way that you could ever have the real one... And attempting to recreate something like that as faithfully as possible through textiles would be an interesting way to study that famous painting that you admire. Anyway, I do like to look outside the quilting industry for fresh ideas rather than rehashing quilts that everyone else is making. I say that, but I just ordered a KIT this morning, of all things -- a pattern with fabric already chosen! Whether I actually make mine just like the pattern remains to be seen. I'm looking forward to seeing your "CopyCat" inspired project take shape in that neat and organized studio space of yours! :-)Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-13728103031523432042020-06-19T09:17:21.449-04:002020-06-19T09:17:21.449-04:00I always think it is ok to copy a work also - as l...I always think it is ok to copy a work also - as long as you do not claim it as your original. If I make a quilt based on something I saw usually I know it won't be exact and I'm not trying to make it exact so when I post about it I will say "based on so and so's pattern" but changed a little here and there to make it mineKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.com
