Hello, Bracelet Book! <3I mostly work with seed beads and often make adjustments to patterns such as: - adding 1-2 rows to fit a clasp - increasing columns to make bracelets longer - doing minor fixes/alterations - adding seed bead color codes. I've already done this work for many patterns and I would love to share these beading-ready versions with the community (without any profit or claiming authorship). What would be the best way to do this? Specifically, is it okay to post these updated designs in my Telegram channel or Pinterest, as long as I: • credit the original author • credit BraceletBook.com • add Bracelet Book logo • place the original pattern ID • add a direct link to the original design (all of this will be big and visible) I may also want to add an extra helpful information on the image: beads color codes, sizes, dimensions, guidelines or grid, etc. And if possible, i'd like to add something like "Altered by TonyCypher / channel name". Thank you! |

It should be alright as long as you do what you suggested.

Awesome. Thank you. I understand community is not happy to see Bracelet Book patterns being re-sold on Etsy or somewhere else. Occasionally I am myself see it happening. Not cool. I'll be precise with what I have mentioned above. |

If you see it happen on etsy, you can always reach out to us or the creator of the pattern directly, so the creator of the pattern can report it on etsy.

Usually I message the creator and Etsy support, but it won't hurt to send the email to you as well next time. Will do.

@halokiwi to be completely transparent, here is the demo: 1) https://tonybrickstitch.com/patterns/fields-of-shimmering-blooms-en.pdf 2) https://tonybrickstitch.com/patterns/silent-moon-mariners-en.pdf I am actually pretty happy with the result. I have a question about logo usage, though. It looks good and feels fair, but I am actually not sure if I am allowed to use the logo itself, because it is not an official partnership. Should I keep it there or remove? |
