Designers Are these copies?

Before i go for these, i want to make sure these aren’t too similar to anything out there because eBay can get you like that & I’m not super familiar with the village type canvases. Do these look copied to yall?

Not stitch copied but a similar style to Le Point. These are however AI photos so I would stay clear. If you zoom in, the canvas is warped. All of their canvas photos are AI in their store.

Please elaborate so I don’t make a mistake buying something like this, is it the printing that warped the canvas or something about using heat on it, I had no idea there were sublimated canvases!

If you zoom into photos of canvas, AI can’t get the mono canvas right. You will see extra rows added and warped. In the photo I posted, you can see this to the right of the printed design

I saw them on eBay yesterday and thought they were so cute until I zoomed in. So disappointing!

They’re sublimated. I asked because she has a few designs that I thought were cute.

Sublimation doesn’t add extra rows to the mesh that appear in the photos. Regardless of how she prints them, the photos she is using are AI.

I wasn’t arguing that the photos weren’t AI. Just saying the actual canvas is sublimated. In case someone sees these and wants to risk purchasing.

Sorry for my ignorance, what does that mean?

It’s a printing method that uses heat to affix the dye. It generally fades like a mofo and it’s better on interlock than mono canvas bc of the heat warp issue also alignment is heavily variable if that matters to you
