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.

Jewelry
These pieces have been created in the last 5 years. Even though I started making jewelry when I was 12 and through the years I took classes and advanced seminars to improve my skills, once the hand surgeries took my rage of motion and strength away, it became incresingly difficult to knot, wire wrap and even string and crimp. But I persisted and have regained some of the ability. Enough that now I teach the jewelry class at the local craft shop.
