copyright stuff?

[alli-lou.livejournal.com]

Alright ladies (and gents), I've got questions regarding copyright type things. I'd like to sell some decoupaged objects (boxes, trays, perhaps light switch covers too...) but wonder about the legalities regarding that. If I use pictures from calendars or magazines, is that allowed, or is all that copyrighted? And what if I buy paper from somewhere like Paper Source that has a particular pattern on it; are you allowed to sell objects made from it?? I'm so afraid of stepping on copyrighted toes...



A hat I knit for a friend of mine (she's modelling it here, and was very happy with it!)



I've also done a bit of experimenting with making jewelry...here's my most successful creations!
