It is the support of my wonderful friends, family and customers that keeps me going strong. 9. Do you sculpt full time & do you have other hobbies?I sculpt as often as I can. When I'm not creating babies with the clay I am spending time with my friends and family. I also enjoy quilling and colouring. 10.
