I have loved creating art since I could pick up a pencil. Crafting came later, but it quickly became another passion. It filled the gap when I suffered a serious injury to my right hand and gave up drawing and painting. After nearly 20 years, I discovered that I had healed enough that I could go back to drawing. I spent years retraining and relearning the skills I lost while unable to create art. I am finally able to draw again like I once did, particularly as technology advanced to the point that I can draw digitally. The times my joints do lock up or my hand goes into spasm, I can correct the errors easily. It’s a joy to have it back. I am even starting to be able to work with actual physical media as well as digitally.
I have not stopped crafting even though I’ve gotten my artwork back. Most often I crochet, but I also do various paper crafts, beading, embroidery, and am currently teaching myself to tat.
