Phil Deschaine works on a yarn necklace in his home in Lewiston on Friday. Deschaine who is blind as a result of a pituitary tumor on his brain has acromegaly, or giantism, which causes continued growth throughout an adult’s lifetime. He began making these braided necklaces in March, when his usual activities in the community were eliminated due to businesses being shut down. He gives his work away to neighbors, friends family and passersby, often taking a necklace he is wearing off to give to someone who complimented it. Many of the necklaces have themes, including a lot of red white and blue patriotic pieces, sports team colors and even one featuring his interpretation of the coronavirus.
