Re: [BKARTS] Telling of the Book Arts World

If asked, how about, "It's just too complex to explain, and involves a
lifetime journey of learning, experiencing and expressing all that goes into
my life in my craft"?

<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
