The originals of these cherubs are WAY out of copyright :-) - they're the putti from the bottom edge of Raphael's Sistine Madonna - so I reckon I'm OK copying them and digitising them! This is just a test stitchout on felt, I'm going to modify the outlining on the hair so there's a bit less stitching on them then I'm going to embroider a couple of hand towels as a thank you gift for my sister-in-law whose Victorian bathroom has an angel/cherub theme. Love

Great job of digitising

What an excellent job. My daughter has angels in her bathroom, and bedroom too.

Dianne, this is adorable and one of my favorite angels, too! Let me know when it is on your site and I will download it. I love it - great work. *4U

you did a great angel-job!

You have done a very good job digitizing these. Well done - they are cute. *4U

Copyright ... I ought to clarify : I was referring to copyright on the original painting, which is a detail of the Madonna in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, painted by Raphael around 1512 - 1514 - so WAY out of copyright. I am very particular about not infringing artists' copyright (or anyone else's for that matter) because it DOES matter, even if you don't sell your embroideries. That's why I usually draw my own designs right from scratch, then I hold the copyright! I've put a permission-to-use statement on my website which lets amateurs use them for free but if anyone wants commercial use they can pay the going rate! Love

They look nice. I don't think the copyrite matters that much if you don't sell them.They deserve a flower

I was referring to the original painting that I drew it from - it's part of Raphael's Sistine Madonna, painted 1512-1514 so it's WAAAY out of copyright! I did the digitising myself from my copied drawing.

That is GREAT...I collect angels and that is one of my favorite...how can I get a copy? ;)
