Hi all

    I have seen some really wonderful art jewelry with montages created
    from clipped photos, headlines, ads, writing, labels, etc. I wondered
    if anyone knows about the legalities of clipping photos and ads or
    even using old postcards? I have a marvelous old Southwestern
    postcard with no copyright or photo credit, and I'd like to
    incorporate it into a special piece of jewelry I've been asked to
    create for a contemporary museum of art benefit. Can I do that (I'd
    scan it and use the reproduction in a montage...) 

Thanks!
Roseann
