[Nfb-krafters-korner] Low Vision Craft Light

[River Woman]

Yes, it is wonderful. when I still had sight in one eye, I could put on a 
pair of magnifying glasses, and then look through that magnifyer down onto 
my bead work and I could do my intricate encrusted beadwork that way. But, 
alas, after the second eye went SOUTH, nothing can work for me except 
electronics - so I gave it to my daughter who uses it in her studio now.  I 
also have a smaller portable Ott lamp that is nice - and I used to take that 
one to my meetings of the Obsessive Compulsive Bead Workers of 
Pennsylvania - I used to meet with that group once a month and we worked on 
our bead working together and learned new things together. Since sight loss, 
I have never been able to return to that group - have to work alone using my 
CCTV now...way too much work and effort to take a CCTV - and of course, now 
I would have no transportation either and it is an hour's drive from my 
home - soooooo, solitary beadworking is now my NORMAL. But, no problem, I 
love being alone.  I did take my CCTV to our Girlz Art Camp Adventure last 
summer when we went for a week long stay in southern Ohio and we all worked 
on our STUFF day and night - four of us...wow, what fun that was!

>>I have several Ott Lamps - floor type by the sofa; and two others that are
