Artist or crafter?

A is for artist

Sometimes I'm an artist, and sometimes I'm a crafter. If something I've made would never be tossed in the trash, it's art. If it could end up in a "file 13" container, it's craft.

"Heart of the Country" is my original design. The Log Cabin blocks are 6 inches square, and the panel is a "cheater." To make some of the fabrics "read" light, I placed them wrong side out. After all, fabrics do have two sides! It is machine pieced and quilted.

The quilt is a keeper. So, to me, it's art.

"Violet" is the second doll I made. The pattern is "Doll With a Colorful Soul" by Denver art doll designer Leslie Molen (www.zootie.com).

She has sat in my studio for a few years, and her fabric has faded. And I hate her hands. Sorry, Violet, but you are a candidate for the trash can. So, to me, she's craft.






What's art to you may be craft to me!
