But I've seen the same thing in every type of art: painting, sculpture etc. Just makes the really good stuff more valuable.Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10180874.post-1147872838706611632006-05-17T06:33:00.000-07:002006-05-17T06:33:00.000-07:00well said. as usual.....well said. as usual.....cfenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333589512760709549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10180874.post-1147803831077257972006-05-16T11:23:00.000-07:002006-05-16T11:23:00.000-07:00Isn't a beautifully made piece, with all the eleme...Isn't a beautifully made piece, with all the elements in place just a joy to behold? Of course if the design is bad no amount of careful workmanship will save it, but I agree with you that careful craftsmanship is the professional polish that a good piece must have.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, "art quilts" "fiber art"--nothing quite works.
