What should you do when life gives you lemons? Well, according to Terri Jacoby you make Lemonade!
Terri was in a terrible car accident in 1998. Her injuries were severe. Terri was told she would never walk again yet she persevered and slowly she made progress eventually, against all odds walking once more.
Although she could walk again Terri never did regain the motor skills in her left hand. Again this didn't stop her instead she took up beading. "I enjoy making beautiful work" she wrote in her ArtisansMarket.com gallery Bio.
As you can see from the added photo of her Quartz, shell and pearl necklace she does make beautiful beaded jewelry. Terri's determinations takes her ability far beyond what most of us can accomplish with two hands and manages to do it with one. Creating many beautiful beaded pieces. Earrings, necklaces and bracelets.
She has inspired people all over the world with her simple yet diverse style of jewelry and her perseverance. Teri has found that there are individuals all over the world that have suffered her same situation and she has made friends as far away as Australia in her quest to promote healing through beads.
She understands that creating something beautiful can really bring forth a strong healing process and she is determined to share that with others.
We are honored to have Terri as one of our bead artists. Each piece Terri makes holds the power of healing in every component. The love of beads can be seen in the combination of colors and materials. We think Terri Rocks! Checkout her gallery and we think you'll agree.
