I have been searching for a way to express my emotional side for a long time now. I have been through a lot in life, including nearly dying at the age of 27 from an aortic dissection~ which didn't kill me, but changed my view of life profoundly. Lets just say after cheating death and experiencing such physical and emotional hardship(lot's of "why me?")it is impossible to worry about what someone thinks about your way of expressing yourself. Little things become unimportant and love and relationships become all the more real and scary. I used to teach kindergarten, but had to retire due to issues with my blood pressure(I taught Kindergarten). Now I play with polymer clay, searching for a way to wrangle the colors to my aesthetic~ not too much luck with jewelry so far, and am going to try my hand at sculpting art dolls next!
