The line between whether these things are "art" or "craft" seems to be rather murky. Our son and I visited with a woman behind the table at an art show recently and she explained that a painting on canvas is art, but a painting on a saw blade would be a craft.
Huh? What?
I am aware of an oil painting on wooden planks by a famous artist. I wonder if she would consider that to be "craft."
At any rate, the lovely artsy-craftsy woman at Four Dog Day had a contest not too long ago, and just for the heck of it (I almost didn't bother because I never, ever win contests), I guessed what I thought she was going to be making. I guessed right, and I actually won. And the prize was choosing something from her Web site. So I did, I chose a most useful item -- a set of bookmarks, and she sent them.
Aren't they lovely?
If I say nothing about this, probably no one who reads this blog will notice, but just to emphasize the point that things I try to make from raw materials often do not turn out very well is that when I positioned these lovely bookmarks for their photo, I put one of them upside down.
Richard was kind enough to point it out me when he downloaded the photos off the camera.
Oy.

I remember when you won that contest because I thought at the time, "Hey, I know her!" What a lovely prize!
Ah, sometimes trees can look confusing! How lucky are you? The bookmarks are beautiful:)
