I have a question. A sort of off-topic, yet right on question.

Do you think there is a fine line between craft and art?

I may look at something and say, "Artsy!" and you may say, "Crafty!" What's your opinion on this?

E.G. I put a sheet of metal on the wall, added magnets, b+w photos, and forks. Now is that artsy or crafty?

E.G.2 I bought crafting wire and stuck it in a shoe box, made it really tall to reach the ceiling, then I took flower-arranging wire and made charms to hang on it with marbles, like a branchless tree with raindrops.

I also love the way all of you are so quick to help people with their problems. I suppose this may be due to the large amount of members, but I think it's just so great.
