Unfortunately the copycat issue is still ongoing, but I'm trying to not let it get in the way of things. I just want to say thanks again for all the fab support. I really do appreciate it! (I'll keep you posted on this matter, I'm still awaiting further information from Shutterstock)

So sad to hear about your experience ! The ONLY good thing you MIGHT console yourself with is the fact that nobody would bother stealing your designs, if they were not so very, very good !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your brilliant post, just 'shared' it.
I have been discussing the issue of copyrighting on and off for years, as you can imagine, and again recently when I attended a workshop by www.abscraft.com, Alison Bailey Smith.
I am hesitant to make a bag in her style but we decided that it could be OK if I CLEARLY identified her as the direct inspiration. That way it would also be positive exposure for her, who is obviously the true artist... x
