There are so many strange things that happen when you are dealing with the public. Folks often ask funny questions at shows and I rarely have that perfect answer until to late, then I am so bummed I didn't think of the great come back/answer at the time but not last weekend. Last weekend someone came up to the booth and asked if I thought of myself as an artist and drum roll please ............................................................ I said no I am just unemployed. LOL I don't even know where that came from it just popped out of my mouth before I could even stop it. I don't normally go around calling myself an artist, jewelry designer yes, lampworker yup, interior decorator NEVER. You get the idea it just isn't how I think of myself. Are my creations art? I have a sticker on the side of my traveling jewelry case that says "This Is Art". When I purchased the sticker I though it was kind of funny but now that I have been asked if I am an artist I am taking it a bit more serious. I love my work or I wouldn't make it but honestly art is in the eye of the beholder, if you think it's art great if you don't that's fine I don't mind. Not everyone can love everything and that's what makes the world go round :)
