My Father’s Craft

A lover and creator of the arts and craft, my father have been recognized since a young lad for his hard work and detailed creativity; His techniques were self taught and he excelled in carpentry, boat building, architecture, sewing and tailoring as well as music. As a child I believed that he could build and fix anything under the sun.
Like my father who has learned many things from his father, I have learnt from him. He gave me the opportunity as a little girl to help him glue together the pieces of cabinets, and guitars and help with the hanging of doors, windows and hurricane shutters on several occasions.  There is something refreshing about a little girl knowing that she has helped to make something so great alongside her father. Never did I think that one day I could do the same and although I design and create jewelry at present, I have always said that if not my father then I will be the one who carefully lay the tiles and build the cabinets in my house one day.
