<sigh> Michelle brings up a great point: for those of us (like me!) 
who can't be catagorized into a specific niche, what *do* we call 
ourselves?

I spin, and knit, but was trained as a writer, editor, DTP geek, and 
indexer: I use all of these skills in the art I produce.  While I 
bill myself as a "fibre (I'm in Canada, eh?) artist," I'm also all of 
those other things (my day gig demands I use 'em).

And besides having run my own business, curated museum shows, and 
gone to graduate school, where I'm considered to be a chimera of 
architect and planner, I haven't quit expanding my horizons yet.

My preference is "visual artist" but I'm certainly open to other 
suggestions....

Happy New Year, y'all!  (damn: why did First Night in Calgary die?)

Linda
