Interesting seperation of Crafts from something to keep people busy, to making something functional. I'm stuggling with the funcionality aspect of it...just now I'm leaning toward something which is functional seeming like a craft or product of a craftsman...and something purley ornamentl being more art. (just this minute) Yes? No?
