About this Product
A Spoonful of Sugar: Coping as a Complex Chronic Crip. Volume 1. This is a zine (short for fanzine or magazine, commonly referring to a self-published, small publication). As someone with complex chronic illness, I think it is important to share with other "spoonies" how we cope with it all, as well as to educate those who are lucky not to deal with chronic illness, just how we manage in our day to day. This first volume speaks generally at a high level. And of course, invokes Mary Poppins.

Meet the Maker
Inspiration for my creations comes from wanting to use and re-use things that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Seeing beauty and highlighting that in my art is a manifestation of my worldview: we can all do our part to make the world a better place. Sometimes my ideas come to me in dreams, a lot of the time, my ideas come to me through working with the materials--they direct me.
I used to make art and jewelry as a part-time job in my 'free time' outside of my wage-work. Since becoming chronically ill, I make things as a way to celebrate the scant energy I occasionally have for being creative. I am mostly housebound, often bed bound, and your support helps me feel like I'm still a part of the world at large.
How it’s Made
This zine is made from a single piece of letter sized paper. It will come already cut and folded into a sweet little booklet for you.
Shop Policies
Processing Time: I do my best to get items in the mail within 2 business days. As someone with complex chronic illness, however, it may take longer if I'm in a flare.
Return Policy: I do not accept returns.
Care Instructions: As with any jewelry, the easier you treat it, the longer it will last. The double-sided pendants are not water proof. The tin earrings are water proof, although some of the older tins may rust as they have a higher iron content (I think this patina only adds to their charm).
Shipping Within The US Only: If you live elsewhere, please contact me and I'll set up shipping with you. I can not ship to Italy unfortunately.
FAQ's: LMK if you have Qs and I'll start making an FAQ section :)
