Praying Hands Pattern

[Ron Johnson]

Praying hands pattern for those who wish a copy. The size I've done is 7 ½" x 6" and ¾" thick. Size of base 8 ½" x 4" and ¾" high (or size to liking). Attaching top to base you can use screws, dowels, or just wood glue. Choose a clock or photo insert.
I always have a few on hand as a gift. I have sold many of these. With clock for $85.00 and photo insert $75.00. Many have purchased or ordered two and three at one time in memory of a loved one who has passed on.
In memory of one person's passion I had added a scroll sawn fishing rod and box along with a guitar attached to base (guitar sample attached).

Hi Ron.  I removed the pattern.  We can't post patterns that came from magazines or books.  I can see why it's a popular seller, though.

The Praying Hands were initially painted by Albrecht Dürer in 1508.  Sure there is no copyright left.

Maybe someone can make their own pattern from this?

[WayneMahler]

Ron great work. These sell well for me too.

Nice work on those Ron.

 

I have a copyright question or two or three that I am not sure that anyone in the village can answer.  

 

1st question.  If the owner ( a company )  of a pattern goes bankrupt and folds under and does not sell their patterns to another company or entity is it still covered by copyright or does it become public domain.  

 

2nd question If one were to make one of the patterns from said defunct company available for no profit at all would that be a copyright violation.  I am not sure as there is no company asset to protect as the pattern is in legal limbo.

 

3rd question  If one were to take one of these patterns and make modifications to it would that be a copyright violation.  I personally am leaning to no it is not as the copyright holder no longer exists.

 

4th question  How long from the time that a copyright holder dies or otherwise gives up the copyright does it become public domain?

 

Now all of these questions assume of course that the pattern database was not sold off to pay debts, if this is the case then the aforementioned questions are curiosities and nothing more.

5th question  Did the original pattern designer sell all the rights to the magazine, or does that designer still control some part of the rights to that pattern.

 

The praying hands pattern was in the October 1997 issue, is there a credit for the designer listed?  Does that designer still have the right to sell that design?
