10. Would you care to share any 'words of wisdom' with other aspiring
artists or crafters?
Just do it!!! I've met people who bought packages of clay and never
opened them because they were afraid they would mess it up. Or people who
were afraid try painting something. It's just paint! It's just clay! How
are you going to learn if you don't do it. We learn and grow from our
mistakes and failures. You don't want to be on your death bed and realize
that you didn't try everything you wanted to do..........how sad!!!!
