&lt;p&gt;I completely agree with you on this one. I feel my &amp;quot;work&amp;quot; to be a complete mixture of craft and art. However, I feel reluctant to call myself an artist, but I really couldn&amp;#39;t explain why that is. It feels a little presumptuous. But then I am proud of my work and have put it into group exhibitions and shown my things at show and tell sessions.......... So, logically I should call myself an artist unless I am following someone else&amp;#39;s design. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;For me, it depends on the project...for example&amp;nbsp;when I make my standard by-the-pattern baby sweater for a friend I feel crafty,&amp;nbsp;and when&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;design/customize something myself I feel artistic, like it really says something about me.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
