Thing Making beginnings

When I was little, about 12, I discovered Sculpy, a polymer clay that allowed you to sculpt and then bake the item in the oven to harden it. I felt like I had discovered air! I made all sorts of little things, one notably getting me an A+ on my report in middle school. I did a reproduction of the death mask for Tutankhamen. Later that year, I made a special little sculpture of Chiron the centaur for my Dad, as he is a Sagittarius. I think he still has it. It never occurred to me that this was a viable way for me to make a living. What a blessing to be able to discover it!!!
