\"PolymerSpotlight:<\/span> “I still have to take it one day at a time. But… all the wonderful support here has given me confidence to continue.” ~Jackie-N<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today’s spotlight is an update from Jackie Norris. You may remember first reading about her sad and brave story back in October. If you missed that original article, here is the link: A Polymer Clay Tribute, In Loving Memory of Vance, Her Biggest Fan<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, Jackie is a survivor and is continuing to create her beautiful polymer clay jewelry. Related links for today’s Spotlight include: 1) Ghost Canes<\/a>; and 2) Adding Cane Slices to Round Beads<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is What Jackie Wrote…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Cindy,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just wanted to give an update. I still have to take it one day at a time. But the belief that Vance had in me plus all the wonderful support that I have gotten here has given me the confidence that I needed to at least try to continue. So I just did a little every day till I actually finished a couple of pieces.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am enclosing a few photos. I used the ghost canes on the round beads on the bracelet and a chalk technique I read about somewhere, on the oval beads. The earrings were just slices off a cane that I did not particularly like, but they made cute earrings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So thanks again for your support, it really made a difference.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am so proud of you Jackie and your braveness to move forward. Your ongoing story really shows how polymer clay can play a role in helping to cope with adversity that can come up in our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am also proud of everyone who wrote loving and supportive comments to Jackie during this difficult time. Kindness makes this a beautiful world to be part of and I am grateful that you all shared a piece of your kind hearts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jackie… we are all still here for you if you need support and encouragement.<\/span><\/p>\n
