I love doing crafts; it's amazing how the colors combine, and while you're creating your art and seeing it take shape, it's wonderful.

I love creating art with plastic bottles, cardboard, EVA foam, and many other items I can use. I love making pictures with flowers, animal drawings, and landscapes. Then I take EVA foam and glue it all over the picture, in colorful tones, to give it a more attractive effect. And seeing it all finished is incredible.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the good things in life, in joy, in sadness, but above all, it's God who gave me this gift of being able to create something so wonderful. I'm inspired by everyday things and I create whatever comes to mind. I can't quite explain where all this inspiration comes from. I only know that God is behind it all.
What would you do with $25,000?The first thing I would do is take care of my health, pay off my debts, give some money to my son and some to my daughter so that she can take care of my granddaughters and so that they can have a better life than I had. Maybe then my daughter would start talking to me again.
