This is a happy little group for happy little doll makers.
Please post pictures of your handmade spool & clothespin dolls.
As silly as it is to have to say this, recent undesirable behavior within our little group has, unfortunately, forced us to have to state the obvious:
PLEASE DO NOT COPY the designs of another artist's work if you plan on selling your dolls. Replicating ANY artist's copyrighted works, whether in part or in whole, is considered copyright infringement and is a violation of the US Copyright Office. (f.y.i. - The copyright law also extends beyond the United States and ANYONE who infringes on another's copyrighted works can be prosecuted.)
It is perfectly acceptable to make dolls for your own personal use, but if your intentions are to sell a copied design and you post the pictures to this group, you are in immediate copyright violation of the original artist's copyright protection and you will be removed from the group.
Please be courteous & respectful of ALL forms of art, as well as the the artist who has created it. If you've found inspiration through someone else's work, please be fair and give credit to that artist. Outright duplication of any artist's designs and ideas, whether in doll form or another medium, is dishonest, disrespectful, & illegal. Please know the difference between inspiration and imitation.
