    This one reminds me of Edward Gorey's cartoons. Hilarious! Poor little Intarsia..

    Is Intarsia an anagram of artisian?

  4. Why the name intarsia and not, say, Fair Eileen?

  5. Fair Eileen is a member of the family no longer spoken of due to an incident involving the disputed ownership of an alpaca farm.

    However, Little Intarisia does have a Jewish cousin named Aaron Cables.

    My mother is a potter. It has its own difficulties.... Fortuantely she is resigned to a certain amount of breakage.

  7. As soon as I read this I KNEW Intarsia was not just some girl's name I was unfamiliar with. Ohhh Franklin, you are just too too clever.

    This reminds me, the new issue of Vogue Knitting has a great, very comprehensive article on copyright. In a nutshell, anything you put on here is legally yours until 70 years after you die.

    Really really really like the names - will we see more drawings of this interesting family?

    Also appreciate the Chicago button - I think the flaming needle is brilliant (and possibly multi-layered?)-

    Also really really really glad I found your blog - I enjoy it no end.

  11. Intarsia is certainly qualified to be one of the Gashlycrumb Tinies.

    But what ever happened to Auntie Mo Saic?

    Much as I enjoy the drawings and the humor, my favorite is the updated copyright line! You think it will carry any more weight in a court of law?!

    Hilarious! Nice job. Poor Intarsia. Stuck in motif clothing without the ability to get a decent nickname.

    Now if only I could master intarsia, not to make that, though.

    If I'd knit when my kids were small - they would have looked just like little Intarsia, I know.

    I am glad the crap about the Christmas card got back to you and you are making your point with humor. More than that, I am glad it didn't stop you from posting your work.

    The person who wanted to use your art for a Christmas Card now seems to understand that is not allowed AND it is mean and petty. I love the work, can not wait to see what you have done for the Knitting Curmudgeon's book.

  20. Thank you, Cynthia - I appreciated your notice of what was happening. Sometimes folks just need educating. I also used to think anything on the Web was fair game - a natural assumption, I think, considering that images especially are so easy to grab.

    If the person in question has decided not to go ahead, then she has my gratitude for respecting a creator's rights. If she ever wants to do business, she has only to contact me.

  21. Franklin,

    Do you know what the difference is between a Creative Commons Copyright and regular copyrights? I'm just curious is one holds more weight than another and if any are recognized internationally.

    Poor little Intarsia. I am almost afraid to ask if she has any siblings!

    Ah, siblings--a brother named Aran, perhaps, and a baby, Bauhaus.

  23. I'm curious to know what question of yours I answered in my "Frustrated" post.
