The June 2011 issue of the Crafts Report has an interesting article by Bruce Baker, "Knock-Offs - Gifts in an Odd Package", in which he discusses the good and bad aspects of having your arts and crafts designs knocked-off.
This article is not available for free via the Crafts Report website, but some other interesting articles are:
- 6 Simple Ways to Avoid Dumb Mistakes at a Craft Show: What You Can Learn From a Boy Scout
- Robert Held's Six Tips for Fledgling Craft Businesses
- Tips for running a part-time Craft Business
