Is it art or craft?
this has been a debate I’ve heard argued for as many years as I’ve done science fiction cons. It is usually called fiber arts most other places. I call certain parts of what I do fiber craft and other fiber art. Most of the inkle woven trim that I make is craft. There is a little thought as to color and pattern, but mostly I’m just following a set of patterns that I have written down, and a set of color rules that are mostly found in heraldry. My real art is the card weaving. Each belt/stole is planned out to be a mostly one-of-a-kind piece. Any repeats of a set of patterns and colors is unintentional or I’m doing a baldric or simple stole that is an office badge in the SCA or a single pattern at the end with no repeating pattern up the middle.
