Honeywell was known for her
silhouettes, paper cutouts, needlework, and penmanship. She became a public performer around the United States, displaying her talents. During one such display, recorded by diarist William Bentley, she threaded a needle and embroidered with her toes and mouth; balanced scissors with her mouth and arm stump to make paper cutouts; and wrote a letter with her toes. Besides silhouettes, another of her specialties was a cutout with a handwritten version of the
Lord's Prayer at its center. Many of her public appearances are documented in newspaper advertisements. According to these she would perform three times a day, each show lasting two hours and costing fifty cents a ticket. One broadside indicates silhouettes would be cut in a few seconds for twenty-five cents, half-price for children. Honeywell appeared in
Salem, Massachusetts, in 1806 and 1809;
Charleston, South Carolina in 1808 and 1834–5; in New York City in 1829, and in
Louisville, Kentucky, in 1839. She was in
Boston in 1806. A broadside also indicates that she traveled to Europe, where her work was well received. On many occasions, Honeywell appeared in the company of another, similar disabled artist,
Sally Rogers. ==Collections==
