ACEO rules regarding collage items

[essellelle]

Hello everyone! My Mum is interested in having a go at some collage ACEOs and wondered if she is able to use printed scraps (Victorian style) and other printed materials (such as pictures from old books) without infringing copyright. Can anyone clarify this for me? She does not intend to copy the items or produce prints, each ACEO she produces will be one of a kind. Thanks in advance, Sarah

Sorry I haven't been in here to check much of late. There are rules, which I'm not particularly up on. Please email member chelisesurfing and ask, she should be able to help (or varizone! - same person).

Hi Chel, I havent received an email from you yet, I am not pestering honest! Don't rush to do it, I was just concerned in case it was not delivered for some reason, sometimes those spam filters can be over enthusiastic! If you haven't got around to it yet, don't worry! No rush. Best, Sarah
