As you may recall, the topic for the June Craft Social was Are There No Original Ideas?. The discussion that afternoon was lively and many tweeps posted links to pages with information in keeping with our theme:

The prize-y goodness for our June Craft Social continues!
We’ll also have a gorgeous Mandala Suncatcher, donated by Christine of EyePopArt. It’s based on her record mandala designs, and then translated to vinyl and affixed to an upcycled plastic CD spacer.
A very pretty thing for your Summer kitchen window! (Christine will choose a colorway for you.)
To enter to win, just show up for the June Craft Social. Oh – and just a reminder: we’ll be taking July and August off, so we hope to see you at the June event!

The next Craft Social will be on Tuesday, June 29 from 2-4 PM EST. The topic for June is “Are There No Original Ideas?”.
Since the dawn of time, artists have been wrestling with the concepts of plagiarism, derivative work, copyright, trademark infringement and ethics. Have you had an eBay auction stopped due to infringement issues? What should you do when you see derivative works put up for sale, without proper attribution? Do you feel that once a tutorial is published, the author gives up his/her right to the design? Are personal use statements enough in today’s tech-savvy world?
We’ll tackle these issues, and more, during our two-hour session this month. We’ve gathered a number of online articles dealing with these topics for your consideration:
Summer Vacation
Craft Social will be taking a vacation for the months of July and August. Socialites that want to organize chats during these two months, should tag their posts with #craftsocialhiatus. Barbara and Diane will be back, full force, in September. Contact us with your topic ideas or sponsorship requests.
