Links to art

(Or craft. Where is that line, anyway? Or is it more of a slow fade?)

Handmade, handbound books, creations of paper, leather, metal, beads...

Metal and Magic has wonderful art (plus very entertaining descriptions). The 'weird fruit' section made me laugh, but pretty much all of it is great.

Every time I go to the Zero Church St. craft festival in December, I end up getting something by Lisa Bess. Her stuff is whimsical and fun (the web site is not nearly so interesting just now, unfortunately).

Plus, free online college classes. The content, anyway. Which isn't art, though it does make me go "ooh, shiny" :-).

Your question regarding art and craft is a clever one. I am certain that given pertinent examples I would be able to label each as being clearly one or the other, at least in my mind; what categorizes that distinction, however, I am much less certain, though I have some ideas.

Hmmm, also, I think in my mind "arts and crafts" might be something different from either art or craft, not a superset or something synergistic.

Oy, now I'm thinking of some examples that I don't think I could label in any of these manners, though.

I like the "ooh, shiny" description.
