[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hello and welcome

[River Woman]

Hi Marti,
I am a bead worker, too. I was a college arts and humanities professor and 
my career came to an  end three years ago when I woke up with Ischemic Optic 
Neuropathy - you are blinded quickly and without warning.

Until I found the people here on the NFB Krafters-Korner, It hought I could 
not do beadworking again. But, after hearing others who are doing it, I 
decided to get out my small beads and give it a try again. That was just a 
couple months ago.  I AM doing encrusted beadworking again, which is what I 
love to do.  It is just amazing but without this group of people on this 
list, I would still be thinking I cannot do a lot of things I am now doing. 
The folks here really encouraged me so much - I am so grateful to have found 
this place.

Welcome, and you will be doing beadwork again, too.  GOOD for you.  Lynda 
River Woman
