A quiet hush has fallen over Seraphim Studio's Blog...

Artist vs. Crafter

In the mid 60's something began to happen in history.

Women began to fight for equality...

it was quiet at first

then it grew louder

At one time an Artist was a man..

it was that simple.

Artistry was a gender based profession.

Women who knit or sewed were simply using their life skills

quilts were something needed in the home for warmth

as were sweaters and socks

Drawing was something you simply did as a doodle

to kill time with the children

THEN

NOW

Making teddy bears was something done in factories to make money

pre World War II

Or you made them to comfort your child

A teddy bear maker an artist?

Does the simple fact that we have been sewing for generations

give us the skills required to deem the title 

ARTIST?

You bet it does!!!

My latest ... not totally finished but close to being finished... very happy with this new cupcake size mini!
