I'm very sensitive to the distinction between "art" and "craft"...probably from all the years spent jurying in to art fairs & such. There was a HUGE stigma attached to leather (the very word "leathercraft" says it all)...I used to lie about my medium just so that my art would be taken seriously.
And now I'm making things with no more thought than I'd apply to something utilitarian. So, I'm just worried that I'm slipping into complacency.
Probably I need to create something totally new from scratch, to prove I can still do it.
