That's the way I feel, too. Funny thing is that I *do* often get testy when
someone implies, infers or demands that I get militant about one of *my*
ideas or processes being appropriated. I find that kind of attitude
offensive. LOL! I guess it's just a comfort level with one's life and
artistic/creative flow.

It seems like the core of the beadmaking community, the diehard pioneer
beadmakers, do it for the art of it; the pure love of and furtherment of
beads. I'm glad they felt that way, and have always been so willing to
share and teach what they've learned, or we would still know as little
about beadmaking as they did in 1983. Hopefully, with people sharing
their new discoveries about techniques and style, as artists have for
centuries, our students can in 20 years be as grateful to our advances
as we are toward those who made it possible for us to be where we are
now.

See it, do it, improve on it.

Or we could all just go back to poking holes in shells and seeds.
Actually, someone had to have thought of that first, and that person has
the sole artistic rights to that design.
