Writer's Block: An Artist Is...
Jan. 31st, 2008 12:35 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
Something I didn't consider myself until much later in life. I have always considered myself a craftsman but not an artist. I was clever at figuring out how to make props and costumes for various reasons and I can reduce just about anything to puppet or doll size. But then a friend encouraged me to enter my puppets in an art show. I got my first Artist ribbon on my convention badge and how people perceived me changed because of that ribbon. I also won a popular award for my puppets at the show. And because of that I started to call myself an artist.
