Hello!

    I looked up the definition of "manually" to find out how it is
    defined. Below is what showed up in virtually all definitions of the
    word. 

    man-u-al [man-yoo-uhl] Pronunciation Key 

        - adjective 

        1. done, operated, worked, etc., by the hand or hands rather
        than by an electrical or electronic device: a manual gearshift. 

        2. involving or using human effort, skill, power, energy, etc.;
        physical: manual labor. 

        - noun 

        3. a nonelectric or nonelectronic typewriter; a typewriter whose
        keys and carriage may be powered solely by the typist's hands. 

    So it appears that "Manual" means NO ELECTRICITY. I don't think that
    the FTC really expects Artists to do every little thing by Manual
    means. What I think is that reference is for companies that
    manufacture by the hundreds or thousand by machine and call it
    "handmade".
