Wearable Art and Hope

elp, sorry the WEARABLE ART shop update went live a little late last night. We left the house for the first time since the end of February (besides no contact drop offs) to have Ocean evaluated for Autism. It’s something I put off for a long time due to already dealing with O’s type one diagnosis and then once we decided to do it, we were on a wait list for a million years up at OHSU. After a bad experience with the CDRC up there Scott and I were hesitant to even go back up there for another evaluation. My mother generously offered to pay for an evaluation here in town by a local neuropsychologist with her kicker check and I said a hearty and thankful“YES!!!” . So we left the comfort and safety of our home yesterday and headed out into that big, scary, plague infested world. I was super nervous but also a little excited to be moving forward getting Ocean the diagnosis he needs, so he can get the care he deserves, to become the man he is supposed to be. The doctor exceeded my expectations and although we did leave with an autism diagnosis (which I was expecting) we also left with more knowledge on why ocean doesn’t communicate well - which I will touch on more later. I am filled with hope for Oceans future for the first time in a long time. So thanks for your patience yesterday with the update. 😘😘 . For those of you that shopped my Wearable Art website update last night, THANK YOU! If you haven’t shopped yet - go check it out! Free Shipping on all ready to ship Fiber+Blood jewelry but be aware that my website is charging a $5 flat fee that I can’t figure out how to undo sooooo I will of course refund you. Sorry for the hassle. I’ll figure it out eventually. . Thank you so much for your support friends! Every time you purchase a piece of art from me, my heart skips a beat and I jump for joy. Not only because I love bringing YOU joy through my work but because being a working artist allows me to stay home and give Ocean the attention he needs and deserves during this critical part of his development. So thank you again friends - those words never seem like enough.
