Ah. Two seperate words. Mkay - that I did not know. LOL
-- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net They use the noun "collectible" to describe items that have good resale value, on shows like Antique Road Show, etc. The adjective "collectable" refers to something worth collecting. Tina "Kandice Seeber" wrote in message ... I never thought of the word collectible to refer to the resale value - it depends on the collector. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net You know, I really hate that word, "collectible", as well as the concept. It really kind of means that the value is in the *resale*, and not the item itself, not in the worthiness of the art. In that context, I'd much rather pay $1,000 for beads for the art value, and their value as good material for other art work, than pay $200 for a doll because someone else might take it off my hands for a comparable value. Tina "Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ... It's the difference, in a real-market kind of way, between art and craft. They may be one and the same to the maker, but the collector will pay that kind of money for something they perceive as collectible art. I think it's a wonderful step forward for lampwork as an art... we're already there as a craft, but we have yet to be truly accepted as a fine art. (I'm not saying that we're all artists, but there are some lampworkers who are, and should be (and aren't) accepted as fine artists). -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Dr. Sooz wrote: The auction that closed for over $1000: http://snipurl.com/8rg1 (to do her site and read about her reaction to it) Come ON.

I'm also wearing a necklace right now made from some glass leaves Chuck made. -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Kalera Stratton wrote: And... I was totally wrong! One of the sellers shared on a public forum... it's this: http://snipurl.com/8udw Now, what am I going to do with that 1/2 kilo of Gaffer Light Tobacco I have on order?

I remember a time when I *swore* I would never spend more than ten bucks
for a pair of jeans. In 1973 my rent was $48 a month. And the place was nice, too. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce |
