Copyright & Patents/toy copyright?

Question
From fabric, I've made baby books with applique animal pictures of my own drawings.  What form would I use to copyright the collection of drawings.  Also, periodically I add a new drawing, would that be included?

Answer
Dear Sabra,

You'll want to look at a Visual Arts filing. For the entire book that'd be a Literary Arts filing.
You can either file them as a collection or one drawing at a time. If you have a new drawing for the collection AFTER you've already filed the collection then it's best just to file that individual drawing since technically it wasn't part of the collection.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Warmest regards,
