    I totally agree with Larry on the question of what is an artist and
    what is a craftsman. You did a great job of defining the issue. I
    just attended the Santa Monica crafts show when I went to the
    Southern California Orchid Dinner and the variety of work there
    reflects all the categories mentioned. It seemed that all the work
    there was hand-made, but it ranged from very common un-creative
    crafts to very fine art. There were a few jewelry booths that had
    work that looked very similar to what you could get at a mall jewelry
    store, with maybe better craftsmanship in the making, and there was
    jewelry that fit the category of very fine art. The same was
    basically true for most of the other categories of art and crafts.
