Artist: Penny Hall Item: My Second Bowl Location: Sold at Auction
I donated the second bowl I created to a local fund raiser where it brought $450.00 toward the cause. I was shocked.
I decided to make several pieces and try selling them at our local arts festival. It seemed like a good way to make some extra money to help with medical costs.
A few days before the show my retina detached. I was in bed recovering from yet another eye surgery unable to attend the show.
I was also unemployed due to the eye problems and needed a way to create income. So, I began to search for outlets for the pieces I had already created.
With the help of Blind and Low Vision Services I learned to use magnifying tools and lights to assist me as I began to build my new art business.
