    This is exactly how working with polymer clay can be! I’ve been a clay artist for 14 years now, while I love creating clay pieces for my craft store- it can take soooo long. People that order my creations think it’s fun, but when I have orders for a creation I’ve never created it can take so many long hours. Worth it, but not as easy as many think it is. I admire videos here on UA-cam and all the creativeness with clay. My biggest issue would be small pieces and how it affects my eyes. I will have twitching in one eye from straining them working with a small clay pieces all day. Cute video, loved it!
