I have been making pieces of jewelery and other things for a number of years, for friends & family. I love to use recycled items, mainly glass but I recycle beads from vintage jewellery as well. I also make items from natural products like hemp & linen cord.
Likes and Dislikes
Dislikes: Pushy rude people with no manners, selfish dog walkers who don't clean up after their pets etc....
Likes: Glass of all kinds, people with an open mind who aren't afraid of change, people who are triers (if at first you don't succeed etc...), music of many different types, children with happy smiley faces, the list is endless.
Do you have any disabilities that affect your creativity?
I have eczema which sometimes makes my fingers very sore, thus making it hard to work with beads and tools. I also have Lupus which means that when I have a flare up my bones & joints are quite painful & I usually get a rash across my face, but then thats not unusual for me as I've had the eczema all my life.

More worrying coincidences, in the 70's my friends were 2 girls from Kincardine, who had gone to Dunfermline High Shool. I am assuming you are like myself, the wrong side of 21(ha ha), I remember the Clachan Ceilidh well as one of my friends older brothers played with them I think. I helped run mobile discos in the 70's, Oh dear all those flares & glitter.
The 2 girls in question by the way were called Shona & Alicia, ( no surnames just in case).
Well, similarties! I went to school in Dunfermline, have lived in Alloa ( first husband was in the Clachan Ceilidh in the 70's, based around Alloa) Was born in deepest Fife where my dad belongs and we moved to Kincardine cause my mum missed the Ochils! The Ochils are to blame for a lot. My dad met my mum while camping and hillwalking with the Scouts in Alva.
