@bitingbatcollection: I can tell you how many people doubted my ability to create because I am legally blind. When I was first learning how to create the necklaces I do sooo many people in my life didn't think I was capable of reaching the point that I am at now. I remember every single one of the people that believed in me from day 1. I know it kind of sounds crazy, The Blind Jeweler (also sounds really fockin cool 🫨) but that's my reality. It's an obstacle yes but it's also a way for me to interact with the world around me a lot differently than I would if I could see. So much of jewelry crafting is more than just seeing the pieces you're working on, it's FEELING them. I can reach out to the beads on my desk and feel the infinite possibilities that can be created from just 1 set of beads. It's incredible and exhilarating. Touch is a way I interact with the world DIRECTLY (and it's one of my favorite senses behind TASTE cuz I EAT 🍽️😋). Did you know that the designer of some of your favorite necklaces was blind? What does that make you think about The Collection? Comment below! Drop was set for July 24, 2024 at 3pm EST, so everything is released and available now! ##shopsmall##smallbusinessowner##sustainablefashion##jewelrydesigner
