LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 11.17 47 Nathan Welch Age 13, eighth grade, Walden When he's not at school, Nathan is busy building his Slime Universe, a small Etsy business he started from scratch. He not only makes his own slime to sell but also designs his logos, takes product photos, markets his slime and packages and ships orders. He says he's working on moving away from Etsy to create his own website to develop his business. How do you make your slime? "I use different things like daiso clay, and I import that from Japan. I use stuff like Model Magic, which you can get from Walmart. I use different scents that I can get from Walmart or Amazon, and food coloring and stuff like that." How do you choose names? "I really don't know. I like space, so I was just like: Slime Universe. (For each color), I start by finding something I want to create it to look like. This one is Trix cereal, so I based the name off of that and then I created it to look like it." What pets do you have? "Pet ducks. They are white Pekin, so they are the white ones with orange feet and bills. They're really fluffy. I have a turtle. I haven't named my turtle, but my ducks' names are Daisy, Daffy and Doodle." What subjects do you like in school? "I really like math. I think it's just like the problem solving. I have to calculate the weights (for my E-shop), so that helps." What do you want to be when you g row up? "I really don't know right now, but probably own my own business."
