I don’t really remember when I started making objects with my own hands. I think it was somewhere in the 80s when I was around 10. Until that age I was drawing and painting like crazy and there was always a drawing sheet underneath my homework books. One summer my mom got me some polymer clay sticks and a book of instructions and ideas. So I started making objects for my dollhouse, basically tiny bowls, cups and dishes. I remember that inside that book there were pictures of animals made with polymer clay. Since it was summer and I was inspired by sea life I decided to make fish. I added as many details as a little child could handle and finished my projects with great content! I don’t recall the amount of fish created during that vacation. I know that I gave away a lot to friends and family since everybody had to support the little artist. I kept two of them and made pendant necklaces that I was very proud to wear until my teenage years and maybe more.
