An update on jewelry designer JoAnne Brooks
Jewelry designer JoAnne Brooks
When I was in Dallas in March for the apparel market, I looked for Texas jewelry designer JoAnne Brooks. I interviewed her in October during the market, and she’ such an inspiration and really a fun person.
She wasn’t in the same location, but when I was in another showroom I overheard some people talking about this jewelry designer. One of the women was wearing this wonderful necklace. I asked the designer’s name and it was JoAnne. She had moved to another showroom.
JoAnne was stricken with
polio when she was 4; her right arm and hand and left arm are completely paralyzed. When she’s making jewelry, she hooks her thumb and finger around her left big toe for leverage. She is so skilled with her feet that it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to make a simple piece and an hour for multiple strands.
Her pieces look awesome. Take a peek. Check her out on her Web site, http://jabjewels.com.
