They may say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it still bites when you realize you've been ripped off.
Ink drawing on the left? Mine. Painted in 2012, and posted to this very blog on July 7th 2012.
This pillow on the right? Not mine. Nothing to do with me. And yet Ideccor on Etsy is happily selling them, shipping direct to your door from China.
I'll have more to say on this soon, but oh! where to begin!
Oh, ugh!! I saw that pillow in a roundup on Door Sixteen the other day, and didn't make the connection. What a huge bummer, especially considering you just launched your own beautiful pillows.
I've found Etsy to be really responsive to claims of copyright infringement, so hopefully this will get taken down quickly. Still, though - infuriating! :/

Thank you cottonandflax!
Unfortunately Etsy seems to be taking a hands-off approach. Apparently we need a lawyer!
We'll see what happens, we're still hopeful things can be resolved economically.
