That just says it all, though my kids don't find it the least bit funny. <BR/><BR/>When I was studying art, the process was all-important and rated higher than the product. The idea being that once you'd worked out the former, you could almost always churn out the latter.<BR/><BR/>I thought a bookmaker's shop was just what you thought it was, T. And have you heard of an ironmonger's yet? That's a blacksmith. And a surgery is a doctor's medical practice -- or a meeting to discuss civic issues.

I love ..."It's not something to shine or show off." I love that. 'Cause really, work ethic is kinda gritty and dirty and definately unshined. But every so often you stumble on treasure.

Maybe just wishful thinking?<BR/><BR/>I work with students at a school for the arts. Our unofficial motto is "It's not the product, it's the process." So, I sure hope that process exists, or we're going to have to recall all of those diplomas! :)<BR/>DebDeb Cushmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564044064322450488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-82183576186441993352007-10-23T09:40:00.000-07:002007-10-23T09:40:00.000-07:00TadMack, re: everything you said about process:Sna...TadMack, re: everything you said about process:<BR/><BR/>Snap.<BR/><BR/>Word.<BR/><BR/>Yes, indeed, I agree.<BR/><BR/>Which makes us both smart, right?Robin Brandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971393580756079934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-76325430043170499312007-10-23T09:38:00.000-07:002007-10-23T09:38:00.000-07:00Alkelda, it feels good to have had some company in...Alkelda, it feels good to have had some company in the Wet-Behind-the-Ears woodshed in which we were apparently raised. <BR/><BR/>Um...

I remember seeing my first "Nails" shop and thinking that it was a little speciality hardware store.<BR/><BR/>I haven't yet commented on 7Imp today, but I don't understand what Rosemary Wells means with "process doesn't exist." Is that like saying "Thinking doesn't exist" or "rough drafts don't exist?"Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.com
