This little fox has quite a story!

    "What are you looking at..."

It's funny, life is.
Sometimes we decide to be the creators.
Sometimes we are created.

Yesterday, I decided to make a cat out of clay. I sat down in a chair and started to sculpt a head.

Nothing came out right.

The head looked like a football, the few legs I made looked like sticks.(Don't even think about asking about the ears!) I started to make a cat lying down, but to no avail.
I tried for half an hour.
Finally, I gave up and scrunched my few creations into my lump of clay, and dejectedly began to twist it around, pulling lumps and twisting them.

'Funny, it's starting to look like something...'
Suddenly, my small ball of air-dry clay began to have personality!
I closed my eyes and smoothed down the cracks in the drying mass. I pulled out triangles and smoothed a snout. I expected the clay to just disappoint me again.
Then I opened my eyes.
A fox.

And so little Sparks was born.
