Inspirational Beading: How did you first get into polymer clay?

Roly: Few years ago I had to resign my job due to health reasons. I was looking for something that I could do as occupational therapy, and I saw adds for polymer clay classes. I had no idea what it was, but I was willing to give a try, and I LOVED it!
