Ethics in Beadwork Quiz
(Used by permission of Sandi Graves)

Take this quiz to see how you score on the beadworking ethics scale. For more information on this topic, read " Do the Right Thing! Copyright, Ethics, and You" by Marlene Blessing (Beadwork June/July 2006).

  1. You’ve just taken a beadworking class that taught you how to make a really cute pin. Your best friend, also a beadworker, was unable to attend the class. She asks you to copy the instructions for her. Ethical?
  Yes No
   
  2. Your local bead store has a wonderful trunk show featuring amulet bags. You take a pencil and paper and roughly sketch one of the bags to reproduce later. Ethical?
  Yes No
   
  3. You see a beautiful display featuring amulet bags. You take notes, drawing and describing one of the bags in enough detail so that you can copy it. Ethical?
  Yes No
   
  4. You find a great-looking loomed bracelet on a website. You download the picture to your hard drive and post it on your blog as an example of the kind of work you do. Ethical?
  Yes No
   
  5. You turn the design for that downloaded loomworked bracelet into a border for your web page. Ethical?
  Yes No
   
  6. The instructions for a particular stitch are illustrated very clearly on a website, and you happen to be teaching a class on that stitch. You print out the web pages and add them to your project instructions. Ethical?
  Yes No
   
  7. You love the instructions on a website and you’d like to use them in a class you are teaching. You contact the website, and they grant permission. You incorporate the information in your class materials, but since you got permission, decide you don’t need to make a formal acknowledgment. Ethical?
  Yes No
   
  8. A gallery accepts an item that you made using one of the patterns in a design book. They insist that they will place only your name on the item, and they will not acknowledge the designer. Ethical?
  Yes No
