<\/a>\"Cindy<\/a>Video #305: Roadtrip #1-10:<\/span> <\/span>“Just because you have low vision or can’t see, you can still do polymer.” ~Cindy Peterson<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite thing about these PcT roadtrips, is that we get to learn first hand how everyone has different reasons why they love polymer clay as a medium for expressing their own creativity… even when there are obstacles and challenges.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

For example, in spite of the fact that Cindy Peterson only has 10% of her vision remaining, she is still able to create beautiful polymer clay jewelry… along with some enthusiastic help from her passionate young friend, Elizabeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy, Elizabeth and I spent the afternoon looking through boxes and boxes of their beads, jewelry and sculpted flowers. We shared lots of stories and I gave them as many tips as possible in the time available, for helping with their polymer clay projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doug caught some of our visit on camera…<\/span><\/p>\n
