Friday Etsy Meanderings

Good Morning!

Today is Craft Party Day at Etsy.

 

To celebrate their 6th anniversary, they have encouraged sellers to organize craft parties with other sellers in their area. Get to know other sellers, eat some yummy goodies and learn a new craft!

So fun!

In celebration of the celebration, I thought that I would feature 'crafters'.

In art school there is always the debate: what is craft and what is art?

I think that craft is in the practice: Everyday you sketch, sew, shape metal or wood, and then your personality comes through and there is the art. Some people do this more easily than others. 

Here are some crafters who have honed their craft into art and some supplies to help with your journey towards your inner artist.
