The Artist's Artistic Wife
((NOTE... This is the write up from 2010, 5-1/2 years before the tragic brain aneurysm robbed Carol of all the attributes mentioned about her skilled hands.))
--------------------
Carol's hands are never idle. When she's not making sure her environment is just right, and everything is in it's place... and clean; when she's not fixing and moving and revamping her world; when she's not shopping and adding and subtracting her surroundings; her hands are busy with arts and crafts and making both useful or ornamental things.
Carol's hands paint pictures, make crafts, knit, crochet and sew. Paintings are created, crafts are formed, and articles of clothing are produced. Her environment is filled with machines, materials, and the tools of her trade(s). Even when she rests and sits at the end of the day, her hands continue with some artistic endeavor.
When we first met, I saw Carol's fingers move at the speed of light... typing on keyboards at speeds far beyond what is considered normal. Her hands earned income in typography back then. Since then, I've seen those same hands and fingers produce every imaginable item possible. Those hands have clothed musicians, actors and dancers and have contributed to the arts in every possible way.
