MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

  1. Sorry to disagree with you, but the whole Pinterest thing misses the point--the artist alone has the right, the exclusive right, to distribute images where and when they see fit. Links, credits and names do no good when permission is not asked or given, and when images are mis-attributed, used on spurious sites with no credit at all, and when people who don't want their work pinned get slagged. Google images now leads 80% of the time to pinhercrap rather than the artist, so how does the artist benefit?
    And if i hear one more spurious argument that i "shouldn't" post images or blog or use Flickr, i'll scream--*that* is my right: to post as well, since *i* am the one posting my own work.

  2. Thanks for allowing the comment MaryAnne :) I do believe both sides should be given voice.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
