kimmings is a variation of my name-kim. i started making beaded necklaces as a relief from boredom.
i had retired from a career in market research for advertising agencies in new york city because of multiple sclerosis. after years of rushing to meet deadlines and going to school at night for a mba, free time was a new experience.
to add another complication i got decubitus ulceritis-a pressure sore- on my butt from sitting in a wheelchair. facing what turned out to be years of bedrest, i decided to devote more time to jewelry making-at first beadstringing and weaving then wirewrapping. with my jewery collection and supplies threatening to take over my house, i decided to try selling some of my jewelry.
WOW! it took me months, but herre is the tennis bracelet. i think it was worth all the frustration.
