"

`to be an artist many have to connive, work at promotion or
become self absorbed, or have agents or others to
promote their work so that it will sell.

my husband never did that, he just drew images
his entire life. thousands of images.`

that quote gave me `goose bumps`. it said so
much about what it is to be a crafts-person, artist...a maker of
things. why do we have to do it.....every day?
it is our default setting.

I can't say better than that woman said. Yet, the motor
roars on and the pain of the need still grows!
