This was years before I knew anything about mold making. And I'm not sure my sculpting skills could turn out anything like that. Well, that's not true. I'm sure I could NOT sculpt anything so attractive.<br />Thank you, Petra for all of the wonderful things you make and for the very generous compliments.

Not us Texans or Coloradoans who currently find ourselves in Texas. I quit using my Gilders because the smell knocked me over. Should'ave figured something was up when the smell was oddly bearable.
