What , what type of art do you focus on ?

I 've done some silver jewelry making

|
Kind of jack of all trades , master of none .
|

|
you did n't buy it ,
|
you made it .
|
That 's great !

Right .

You want to , uh , explore a new field

And I 've been fortunate that I can afford to work part - time .
|
I do n't know how long that 's going to last
|
Oh , yeah .

And , uh , they 're cutting back ,
