Then, I realized it wasn't the "contemporary" I disliked, but rather the fact that the "Art" had no...CRAFT to it. Inspiration is all very well and good, without the ability to CRAFT one's art effectivly, the inspiration is lost.<BR/><BR/>Add Inspiration to Craft and what you get IS Art. Without one or the other...it's just a way to keep one's hands busy. A good thing, and sometimes quite utilitarian, but not Art.<BR/><BR/>Okay.. that's my 2 cents and that's probably all it's worth. <BR/><BR/>:0)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629439279545629954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11811998.post-1134841464788964542005-12-17T09:44:00.000-08:002005-12-17T09:44:00.000-08:00You have yarn in your veins?
