Continuation of Dreams
Hey there, folks! I'm Leon, a 55-year-old sculptor with a knack for turning chunks of wood into works of art.
Back in the day, my family had dreams of me becoming a teacher, but I had different plans – I wanted to be an artist. Cue the dramatic moment when I stumbled upon a carpenter doing his thing, turning dull wood into lively sculptures. It was like watching magic happen, and I was hooked!
Ignoring my family's protests, I dove headfirst into learning the art of carving. Let me tell you, those carving knives weren't always friendly – they left me with more cuts than a clumsy chef in a kitchen.
Fast forward through years of dedication, and just when I thought I was about to carve my dreams into reality, life decided to throw me a curveball. A pesky stomach problem forced me to take a hiatus. But fear not, dear friends, for there's always a silver lining!
Enter my savior: my son. He waltzed in with this thing called ETSY, a magical realm for crafty folks like me. Suddenly, I found myself amidst a community of fellow artists and craft enthusiasts, ready to share my quirky creations with the world.
So here I am, folks, back at it again with my carving tools and a renewed zest for life. Who knew a stubborn stomach and a determined son could reignite an old man's passion for turning wood into wonders?
Here's to chasing dreams, one carving at a time!
