Laser Cut Flower (Wood and Cloth)

This is actually a complicated situation, because it’s possible that the person @fred.shilmover hired created a work derived form the original, and it’s possible that the person he hired to do it signed over the rights to the design to him. We don’t know. But our forum guidelines are subjective, with guidelines not rules, and are intended to create a welcoming environment that appreciates creativity and contribution. And the relevant section is called “Sharing Your Stuff (and only your stuff)”.

So without opining on the no doubt complicated IP merits of the situation, I’m going to thank @fred.shilmover for sharing his beautiful print, dismiss the flags on the post without penalty, leave the photo and pinterest link to the artist up, but remove the SVGs which derive from her work. I have no idea what the legal implications are, but posting this SVG isn’t a good fit for the goals of this community.
