So many ideas you are tossing out there, that is what makes your collections so useable in many ways. I love the commentary as much as the work you put into it all. Yes, no rose without a thorn. Wonderful, Sadia.

Comment on The dilemna-Raggedy Ann by Teresa

I have read so much information concerning these characters. I’ve read articles stating that the early books, 1918-1920′s are public domain. I’ve also read that the Gruelle family is notorious for cutting off the heads of anyone attempting to reproduce these characters in any way. However, there are several huge sewing pattern compaines (McCalls & Simplicity for example) that make and sell patterns of these dolls and use the names “Raggedy Ann & Andy” as well as all of the other characters from these books. I have made, and sold dolls depicting these characters. I make my own patterns and add my own touches so they are considered an “artistic interpretation” of the characters. I know Hasbro has a trademark on the dolls, but that is different from a copyright. The way that it was explained to me, by a person who has a website where they sell their own handmade versions of these dolls, is that, as long as you use your own patterns and don’t in any way try to decieve people into thinking that your creations were made by Hasbro, then you are in the clear. However, there is so much conflicting information that I really don’t know who to believe!
