Can I use your art on saleable items? Please visit my Licensing page for details. This includes things like cross stitch designs, cards, stickers, tshirt designs, giftware etc. Other Questions regarding Usage of Nicole's Artwork Can I save your pictures to my computer just to look at myself? Yes. As long as it is for personal use, and you follow my usage guidelines and don't redistribute them in any way it's fine. I saw 'such & such' using your artwork in a way not described here...why aren't I allowed? Probably because they aren't allowed either! If you see Nicole's art being used in a manner that you think is breaching copyright or her Usage rules don't hesitate to let her know! She does occasionally bend the rules (and she does keep all her emails which details what she allowed). Nicole appreciates anyone letting her know if someone's not abiding by her rules. I bought a print/original painting from you. Can I make products from it? When you buy a print or an original, even if you commission an artwork, unless you buy or pay for licensing rights you are not entitled to create anything from the piece. You are paying for the print/ painting only, not the 'rights'. Please visit the licensing page for further information. * The original site through IPrimus is no longer maintained and the usage rules on that site are invalid and will not be honoured.
