Thanks for your input, Barbara! Yes, art is the business side for me, but in this article, I mainly thought about growing the skills and the expression. We can be artists at any craft if we go far enough - grow skills, learn the practices, then break the rules, and create something unique. That doesn&#039;t necessarily mean it&#039;s the business, but simply a mastery. - All you do sounds wonderful. I have also done some slow stitching, and it&#039;s fascinating - a way for meditation.]]></description>

Thanks for bringing up the repetition, and it was interesting to read about the definition of your creative process!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Paivi,   I was very interested in this article because I must admit that it has irked me sometimes that crafters are not considered to be artists.  Like you, I have a background in sewing and quilting and then moved on to paper crafts and card making. Although at the time card making was my business as well as my pleasure. I always considered that I was a &quot;Craftist&quot; and not simply involved in craft. My interests are wide and varied.  I do more drawing and painting now than in the past but still enjoy making cards for friends and family for example although not as a business anymore.  I have also recently taken up slow stitching which is relaxing and it feels good to have no pressure or hurry.  I suppose the difference in saying art is the business side of what you do, where sewing and knitting is the pleasure side is why you can draw a line and separate the two things.  We are all creatives and that is where the joy is.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For me, the art of creating is its own reward. Whether I am hand sewing or painting, they both satisfy a deep urge. I become very focussed on different aspects of the projects. The layout and/or the design is the cerebral part. The process of sewing or painting is the emotionally satisfying element. I find my &quot;style&quot; from repetition. Making multiple junk journals or drawings, helps me see what I want my work to look like.]]></description>
