Is claying like riding a bike?

Trying to hop on the "bicycle" again after four long months. The gears are rusty now. It will take a lot of oiling before the ride is smooth again.

It took me two long hours to make 2 tudees and the bead above. Two friggin' hours for 3 puny pieces.

They say when you learn to ride, you never forget. I wish it's true with polymer clay. Because I'm not sure if I still know how. :(
