Crafting with limitations and disabilities is possible. With this blog, I am creating a record to show how I am overcoming my disability and using it as a motivation to become a better crafter. I hope my story helps others who may be in a similar situation. My tools, my hands. Crafting with limitations and disabilities is frustrating and can be very painful. The most important tool we CAN use is our determination. Click on a picture on the slideshow to view an enlarged image.

Explore tag
Another tag! Using Espresso, Meadow and Sail Boat Blue alcohol inks I did the 'polished stone' technique on glossy paper, selected a good section, adhered to my tag and trimmed. Stamped the tops of trees with Stazon Forrest and flying birds with Stazon Ultramarine. Stamped 'explore' with the same color on a scrap of polished stone paper, trimmed and matted with dark blue card stock. Edged the entire tag with a Le Plume navy marker. Using Sail Boat Blue ink I colored and heat set the metal bird charm (Tim Holtz) and added a peach flatback crystal to the eye. The speckled effect is created with Denim Stickles rubbed very thin across the tag with the pad of a finger. Mount the caption with foam squares, thread matching ribbon through the charm and then the hole in the tag.
