I don't care for the use of the term "artsie, craftsie, to me it sounds derogatory. It's almost as bad as artsie, fartsie, a term some of the farm folks up here use to refer to people that create things that they have no use for.
However, getting back to the main subject, I am an artist who, by your own definition, uses the right side of my brain but sufferers CH's on the left side. Hmmmm. I can't remember which side to place the knife and fork on the table either, I have to mentally tell myself- "knives on the right side, forks on the left". Hmmmm. Then there is the Yin/Yang connection as well. I was told once my "yang" was out whack. If I recall correctly, the "yang" is predominantly(sp?)the left side of the body. It refers to the "masculine part of us, that which is light, hot, dry, hard, active,; and (don't even go there)rising. Hmmmmm. Just some more thoughts to add to the soup.
Harmonious Blessings!
