Why did you take the decoy carving class? I have a friend who took it, he was a senior, and he had told me about it. I do a lot of hunting and fishing and stuff, so I thought it might be a fun class to take just to see if I can make a decoy that looks pretty realistic. I always just fell into art and to do this stuff, I’m a lot more passionate about it.
