Crown Lynn made on behalf and by commission, and occasionally just outright copied without too much guilt...Interesting. I never knew that.
It was a very incestuous world at times!
It is happening more and more now, with where I buy alot of my craft items in China. What people pay big money for, in the branded items, I'm I'm buying and selling craft stuff without a brand, and some of it has been deliberately copied. Morally it's wrong, and alot of people won't buy from China because of that. I personally choose to not buy the copied stuff...or rather the items that I know are copied, by the packaging, so I feel ok with selling what I do.
