dolls and fabric doodling

I have spent the last couple of days doodling around with some ideas for material and dolls, inspiration taken from other dolls I have found on the web, Blythe, Pullip and others I blogged about the other day.  Is it okay to do this?  If I do it in my own special way?  hmm not sure but I am inspired by many things.  Anyway I got all excited looking at spoonflower over the weekend, and decided I would like to give this fabric design a go myself, dress fabric, dolls to cut out and make, cushion covers, I could spend a fortune!
