I”m also disabled and have recently regained my legal rights back after 12 years of mental health issues now 60. Part of my difficulty was my family gave me little to lots of negative support. My church family has been instrumental in convincing me that I should sell my crafts. Due to my independent status, I am finally able to venture into selling, which has been a dream of mine for many decades.

Being disabled doesn’t mean being incapable.

I’m disabled now and I quit making things when my mother died. She was my inspiration. It’s been 20 yrs since I made anything. My sister pushed me to make things again. My hope is that someone sees my things and backs me. It’s an honor that you featured my things. I have alot more and my dream is to share my things with others. I hope my idol Ellen Degeneres sees my things. Thanks again for featuring my jewelry. I wish I could send u more pics. People need to see touch my jewelry. I’m on etsy and a lot of people have looked at our items and liked them but only two sales. My sister also crochets around buttons and brooches. It’s dedicated to my mother who passed away from breast cancer. I just want people to enjoy wearing our things. I even have a pendant made from rattlesnake rattles. And gear washers, tambourine taps, nuts, shark teeth and unusual buttons and designs. Rena, you made my day! Thanks again. Linda

Your jewelry is unique, and a lovely way to give these items a second life. With your creative vision you turn ordinary objects into extraordinary jewelry.
