Re: Yes ...

I have not seen that trend in craft supplies.

*horrified shudder*

No, no, listen to Master Van Gogh! "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."

Besides, some crafts are supposed to be ugly. One summer in ceramics, I made a whole bunch of pig heads and tiki faces, because that's what the clay was good for. It was a red clay that year, and if you pressed it, would fray awesomely. As opposed to gray clay, which won't fray very well but blends much better. Everyone thought those things were "so ugly they're cute." :D
