it's not exactly a matter of ethics =w- asking permission or simply taking inspiration is always the safe route, but the whole point of kandi is to trade pieces and designs!!! I doubt there's many ppl who mind if a single is stolen or a cuff style is mimicked

honestly i think its fine bc theyll probably never know that you copied it /gen

no! not at all! if someone asks you where you got it/ made it, do mention the original creator. other than that, go for it!cheer

Just don't sell it without getting permission from the creator first and credit them for the design if you post it.

Yes it is as long as you don't sell it and the person is ok with it being used! Make sure to credit the person as well if you post about it!

I think that's fine! but if you post it anywhere, make sure to give credit

it really depends on if the piece is super original or inportant to the person, but if its just some rainbows n shit then im sure if you ask the creator and dont sell their design itll be fine.

There is nothing wrong with copying, if done from the heart.
