A nice, reasonably quiet Sunday afternoon spent creating a huge mess on the couch and floor... it was my first crack at carving since the attempted removal of my thumb... which is now stitch free and scabbing over nicely.. I still suffer from a slight loss of mobility.. but I think that will return in time... It was a good feeling to get back into it, but very nerve inducing.. I kept finding myself holding my left hand in positions that placed it directly in the line of fire... creating a shudder of a flashback to the pleasant feeling of the blade slicing through my flesh.. followed by a momentary stoppage to regain composure... Yet... it was exactly the mind clearing, stress reducing creative process that I needed..
And no.. I wasn't wearing the protective glove... for small detail work, it makes it impossible to grip the piece..
I'm sure those would be a hit in the LARP community.
ReplyDeleteWell...people need Magic Wands.
ReplyDeleteEspecially in Mr. Obama's America.
Lovely wand.. Um, if it's a magic wand, will it make things disappear? If so, just name your price and tell me where to send the check!!! :):):)
ReplyDeleteOh, and figure out how to protect the hand.. Would rather not have to start calling you stumpy... K? :-)
I was going to ask you how the hand was, I am getting you a T'Shirt that says "I run with scissors" lol.
ReplyDeleteThese are really nice pieces, the carving is just amazing, wonderful work!
Cool... any word on a "bee" walking stick. I'm glad your thumb is feeling better! It looked painful, and a little gross, lol.
ReplyDeletethe bee walking stick is ready for carving! cleaned, sanded, and pattern drawn, should be done by the weekend, i will let you know!
