Later, I knew about a ___21___ who was trained at City & Guilds Art School. I was in total awe of her talent and it really encouraged me to see her breathtakingly ___22___ pieces of art.

One of my favourites was my seahorse in oak (橡树) it was my second ___25___ project. It was my first experience with oak and I ___26___ how hard the wood might be. I knew that it was going to really ___27___ me. It took me a good week to ___28___ it but I gave up halfway. When I looked at my unfinished piece, I started to feel ___29___ with it as it just looked so ugly. As my ___30___ came to an end for the Christmas break, I took it home and I probably wouldn’t even ___31___ it. Because of Covid I ended up spending Christmas in my own flat, so I decided to take out the seahorse and ___32___ to work on it. Slowly it began to ___33___ and take shape.
