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.

The Klimt Look
One of my favorite painters is Gustav Klimt. Gold, bronzes, jewel tones all over and suggestive looks on the subjects. I had the opportunity to see several of his paintings and especially The Kiss live and direct at the Velvedere Museum. Man, oh man, I do not think I moved, blinked or was able to talk for half an hour. Once my brain started to work again, I began to think of a way to recreate the look and effect on jewelry, decadent golds and richly saturated colors, a convoluted design, patterns underneath, geometric shapes as an element... I came up with this piece.
