Crafts and jewelry all made by a blind mum!

Hello! My name is Denisa and I'm a blind mum from London. I have recently been trying to find some creative hobbies to engage in and make some extra money from if possible. I started with perfume making using different synthetic aromas,essential oils and tinctures. My disability gives me a unique sense of smell so I really enjoyed this. However, it proved very difficult to start up a business like this. I decided to try making different cosmetic just for fun such as body lotion, body butter and body oil.
I then moved on to ceramics and clay as I felt I had a lot of creative freedom and expression with this. I found this to be most enjoyable, and then I was introduced to the world of polymer clay and jewellery creation. I'm still practicing using polymer clay, however I started to make different bracelets from beads and have decided to start my small business off with selling these!!!

You're probably wondering how I'm typing this or even able to craft the things I do. I'm fully blind and I can't see anything. So I have help from my personal assistant who guides me in the right direction and tells me which colours I'm using, or if I have made mistakes. If i can't do something she takes care of that for me.
If you would like to have a look and follow my journey please feel free to follow my Instagram @beadedbydenisa and if you see something you like, please message me or feel free to make a purchase from my shop!
All I wish to do is make my own independent income from doing something creative that I love and know that it will get better with time!
Thank you for reading, Denisa x
