Handmade eye patches , eyeglass cases, necklaces, bracelets & rings
About ten years ago I developed a very serious vision problem..My doctor advised that I wear an eye patch to alleviate the stress caused by the ailment. I was very dissatisfied with the standard black eye patches available in pharmacies. That is where I got the idea to create an eye patch that epitomized fashion and style. The first patch I designed had an animal print. When my ophthalmologist saw it, his jaw dropped and gave me a thumbs up. That eye patch helped me get through a very difficult time. It occurred to me that I could help other people who are suffering with vision abnormalities. Affirmative customer feedback leading to a five star rating confirms that my products are helping. Further satisfaction occurs when my clients send me photos of themselves wearing my designs. There are also customers who wear my patches as a fashion statement. In fact, my work has appeared on TV.
Shortly after opening my Etsy store I added a line of handmade eyeglass, sunglasses cases and woman's necklaces. The cases have exciting themes: pro sport teams, nature, op art. The necklaces are handmade by my brother in the Dominican Republic. He uses exotic materials: mother of pearl, coconut, shell to create unique one of a kind pieces.
