Over 6500 people have taken the Buy Handmade Pledge! The Handmade Consortium has updated the BuyHandmade.org site to include a super page with lots of info on why buying handmade is important and links to further ways of getting involved in this sort of craftivism.
You'll also find a link to the flickr pool with your Buy Handmade self-portraits. Beautiful! Read how to add your self-portrait on this post.
We put out a call for "My Handmade Story" videos and are happy to share one with you: cubistliterature. Both buyers and sellers can find out more about making a video on this post.
Etsy admin have made a little video about why we buy handmade. We're serious about it, as you can tell from the black and white.
