Great thread, so many fascinating lives.

    I made made things through out my childhood. My family had little
    money for things like toys, so I made mostly everything I wanted,
    including sewing my own clothes as a teenager, between being a ballet
    dancer. 

    Went to FIT to study fashion design, specialized in knitwear, studied
    knitting technology (loved that), and was hired as a knit textile
    designer upon graduation. Singleknit and doubleknit machines, loved
    them. After 14 years I decided I wanted to learn to think in
    dimension. Became an apprentice and taught for Robert Kulicke at
    Kulicke/ Stark Academy of Jewelry Arts. Met Obidiah Fisher a master
    wax carver who taught in his loft under the Brooklyn Bridge and fell
    in love with wax carving. Began freelance model making for the Met
    Museum for nine years. Can you imagine going to the office at the
    Met? Thrilling. Neck and arm pain and numbness began. Started to
    design full time for fashion houses, jewelry, buckles and belts. Ten
    years latter, left to become a massage therapist and cranio-sacral
    therapist. Through these studies learned to make models with out
    pain, and have been back in full swing ever since. Until now when
    business is nil. But its been a great ride.
