There is no intention for the Designs to be used in any form of commercial application.
Items that do not have Designs to be copyrighted, such as art supplies (paints, pencils,watercolours, pens). Obviously permission isn’t required to use these types of products. They are for you to make and create to your heart's content!
However, with other items, such as patterned papers, stencils, publications and stamps, Jane Davenport retains the copyright to those items. This means that they may not be reproduced in any way and can only be used in ways outlined in this Policy.
