~ Wire worked with hand tools and determination ~ Most things are sterling silver. There is some copper, some beach glass. Not to mention many hours of my life.

While living in Toronto I took classes at George Brown College and really liked the solderless wirework course. That was 2001. The name "virtually blind" comes from an assessment during a physical for a job with the local electric utility in Toronto. That evaluation made it very easy to impress my new bosses. I stayed 11 yrs., in various capacities. Then I cheerfully accepted an “exit package” and came home to Nova Scotia. Now I am a member of the Metal Arts Guild of Nova Scotia. I am legally blind, and just to keep it interesting, see no colour at all. My favourite colour is shiny. I can usually be found on Saturday mornings bending wire and flogging my wares at the Halifax Farmer’s Market.

Oh that IS really nice. I think I might have to try to make that just for myself, I need something big on my front door for the holidays..well..forever! I too have some very large, awkward pieces that I can't use for jewellery, some with leftover details of patterns or words (those are my favorite types of beach glass), so maybe I'll find something with a bit of character. That piece is brilliant in that window.
