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.

Imagine tag
This tag has a steam punk bend. The classic Gibson girl with sprockets, gears and cogs. From the bottom up: used Clock works embossing folder on textured grey card stock with white core and sanded. Trimmed and adhered to tag. Stamped Gibson girl on glossy paper with archival ink, retouched with Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Broken China Distress Inks. Trimmed close to image and adhered to black card stock edged with Pirate gold ink, trimmed that to fit inside tag. Same ink used on black rectangle. Stamped 'imagine' with silver on black card stock. Trimmed and mounted with foam squares. Adhered a silver gear. Separately, stacked cog and gear and attached to tag with brass brad. Another stack with gear, cog, game spinner and brad was centered on the the girl's head after drawing a brass circle with metallic ink. Attached another gear to the tag hole through the string.
