Justifying Needlework - What is Art?

[CandyCorr]

Well stitchers, I guess it isn't too bad being compared to paint by number
artist. There is a piece today on Sunday Morning about a paint by number
exhibit at the Smithsonian.

there was an article about it somewhere, too, paint -by-number that is, and
I was intrigued that there are still so many of those canvases around. LOL

Is this something I can read about on the Internet? I don't turn the T.V. on
in the morning, IF this is a T.V. show. I have two Paint-by-number "Last
Suppers" framed and stored unsafely in the garage that I did sometime in the
60's.

It goes over what was talked about on the show. They even had a guy on the
show that collects them and hangs them in his stairway... 4 floors and a
basement. He has collected over 500 I think they said.

I still have two black metal tea trays that my mother painted by number, one
has a horse pulling a stagecoach looking wagon and the other a house with trees
and flowers, etc. They are pretty awful looking but I wouldn;t trade them for
anything. I guess I get my craftiness honestly.
