    Lisa I think you're absolutely correct. You really can't copyright
    much in terms of technique since everything has been done before at
    some point, somewhere. If you stumbled on a method to make a great
    bracelet you can document it, and copyright that, but the chances of
    getting a copyright on the braclett's style is low actually, you can
    probably get a copyright but successfuly imposing it would be the
    hard part. This happens in cut stones alot. Someone will come up
    with a cut and they think they can copyright it and be the only one
    to sell the style but it's bull*hit they can't. They can copyright
    their documentation but there is no way to prove that it's never
    been done or put in public domain. One good example of that is those
    'Spirit Sun' cuts (or Spirit Soul whatever they are called).. I can
    cut those all day, they are simple and basic and nothing 'special'
    so they can copyright that name, but not the stone or cut.
