I managed to scrape a degree in graphic design in the 1970s, then after a couple of years working in London, packed in and moved up north to get married. I didn't do much for a long time, never really finding something I enjoyed doing.
In the last few years I have started making salt dough models which I sell at craft fairs. They tend to sometimes veer away a bit from the usual girly "dough-dolly" type of thing. (Example: I got hold of a several little scythes from the flower arranging section of a garden centre a couple of years ago. First I made a couple of the expected farmers, then got fed up and turned out some grim reapers instead).
This Christmas I got a multi-tool with a flexible drive, and I'm going to see if I can start to carve and detail it more. Maybe it'll lead me into using other media - who knows?
