Count yourself luck if you have ever had the privilege to attend one of Mr. Mattiello's demonstrations. The ease with which he could manipulate his Matt Wax Tools and create a wax model while having a "chat" about his tools would convince you that you could make anything. With is extraordinary tools, you probably could. |
