In fact, I loved her patterns even <em>before<\/em> I discovered her work. If you&#8217;re scratching your head at this last sentence, allow me to explain:<\/p>\n<p>A lot of commented on my <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/pikaland\">Twitter page background<\/a>, asking me who was the designer behind it. The truth was I didn&#8217;t know &#8212; I downloaded the pattern from a website (the name of which I can&#8217;t remember because it was such a long time ago), who said that the patterns were available to use and that it was for free.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I stumbled upon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janavendano.com\/\">Jan Avendano&#8217;s work<\/a> and lo and behold &#8212; there it was! I had finally found the the designer behind the pattern that had haunted me for two years, but instead of feeling elated, I felt sick. I felt that way because that other website was blatantly ripping off Jan&#8217;s design and was passing it off as their own (for free too, how nice of them).<\/p>\n<p>Though I was seething at my own stupidity, I quickly sent an email to Jan to explain about what I had just discovered. She was really sweet about the whole thing and even told me that I could continue to use the pattern for my Twitter background. <em>{Thanks Jan!}<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You know how there are things that remain at the back of your head because you can&#8217;t seem to figure them out? Well I&#8217;m so glad that I can finally cross this off my list! The only thing that would make this perfect would be if I could just remember the name of that nasty website&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Jan Avendano&#8217;s patterns\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2010\/11\/10\/jan-avendanos-patterns\/\" aria-label=\"More on Jan Avendano&#8217;s patterns\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37488,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1590"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1590"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30833,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1590\/revisions\/30833"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
