It just never ends. Two of the photos on this page contain stolen pics from
my website. Don't buy from these thieves!

Yeah, I'm getting used to it, and that's just sad. Thanks, doll.

Erf! That sucks! I'm glad that you were able to find them out - with
all the bead websites out there, it seems like a needle in a haystack.

Best,
Christine

Third row down, first pic - they're all mine. Fourth row down, first pic -
the bead set at the bottom of that one is mine.

Since it's an Italian website, basically all I can do is send a cease and
desist letter. Which I've done.

Thankfully it's usually my customers or visitors to the website who find
these. I've only ever found one on my own, and it was by accident.

Here's what I don't get about why they bother - if you click the links
under the pics, all you see is the mass produced stuff. I mean, it's
great that they're not copying your actual beads, but it's like they're
using your pics just to get folks to click on the link, looking for
beads that don't exist there.

Not that I'm an advocate of trying to steal someone else's designs, but
it would *almost* make sense to steal the pictures, in that case. At
least then, you wouldn't have to also know how to photograph beads.

It's bad enough to be a thief, but this seems stupid on top of it.

I'm just sorry you have to go through it again.

Cheers,
Carla

Take heart from one thing, Kandice. These guys make you look good.
Not by stealing your photos, but by showing how ridiculous and low
quality their beads look next to yours.

That's what I thought, too, Sharon. These guys are just making
themselves look even worse by putting that mass-produced (and ugly)
junk beside Kandice's beads. First they steal Kandice's pictures, then
they use them for bait-and-switch. Really nice guys.

You're right not to worry much about this, Kandice. Great beads can't
be mass-produced.
Nolly
