I recently had a discussion about personal posting guidelines with another jewelry designer. I've always tended to be very conservative about this. If I use another artist's focal bead in one of my designs, I usually email a picture of my design to the artist and ask her/him if I can post it on WC, or my website. I always give them credit for the bead. The other designer said when she buys a bead, she considers it hers and posts it on a blog or website without permission, but always giving credit to the beadmaker.
Opinions?
