Components are all the things you use to create your artwork.
Different types of artwork, of course will have different
components. The sample data included with Art Affair Software is
based on beadwork and jewelry making. If you are a painter, you
might have components like paints, brushes, canvas or paper,
mattes and frames. If you are a glass worker, you might have glass
canes, frit, torches, mandrels and more. It's likely you'll have
many different types of components since many artists work with mixed
media.
