My mother was a very talented self-taught painter and drawer, who never got any real change to share her talents with the world. I also tried to paint, but finally realized that I didn't heritage any of her talents. I actually thought a long time that I have no artistic talents what so ever! I have always loved colors and combinations of different shapes and mixed materials, even music is colors and shapes for me, but that was all. I couldn't create anything. Yet I had this strong need for it. I think it was the movie called "Mozart" where someone said something like..."there is no more painful destiny than having a passion to create but no talents". That was exactly how I felt! Then, about four years ago everything changed! Just by an accident, I found polymer clay! And - that moment - I also found that huge missing part of myself. I realized that I DO have part of my moms talents in me, I just needed this 3-dimensional medium to bring it all alive. My brain is not working in 2 dimensional level. LOL So ... the day I found the polymer clay, I just "knew". I am sure you all know what I mean by that. And now, I am using countless hours practising and trying to get better. I am in so very beginning of this wonderful journey! There are so much to learn! And I am so excited!
