There are days I consider myself “an artist”, There are days I’m just a stitcher. But I am always a crafter. Now with that said, is it because I don’t feel my work is at a high enough quality or value to be called ART? Probably. I have seen your work and I know YOU are an artist. It is your passion. Hum, maybe THAT is the bottom line. Passion.
I am not passionate about the things I make. I love them, I love doing the work. But am I passionate. Not really. It doesn’t burn in my blood like I know it does for you.

For me, sweet Sam, I am going to call someone an artist who is PASSIONATE about what they do be it fiber, watercolor, oils, clay or pottery.
