Buying and Selling Handmade

This group is for lenses about buying handmade, selling handmade, or just how to live a handmade life.

Meet some talented crafters and artists, working from home or their shop, or learn how to be a better business person in your craft. Be free from mass produced items, and get to know who makes what you buy.

Below you will find fresh and featured lenses and lensmasters, a list of online venues, a list of helpful links, vote on the most helpful book, and contribute to the group discussion!

Sites of interest for alternative DIY

Links to sale/profit/affiliate sites

I will be extremely critical of which sites get added here. Remember, it's about handmade - BUT NO PERSONAL SHOPS. Personal shops should join as a lens. I will approve these links based on my own check of the link. Thanks for understanding!
