Looks like your humming a happy tune. :wall: sorry but I couldn't resist.

:peace:
The Hills are alive with the Sound of Music. I really feel this place.
i'm making a leather purse for my girlfriend. i'll stain the figure carving and tooling as realistically as i can, then apply resolene, a protective finish that darkens the leather permanently.

i'm no Al Stohlman, but i think it's looking pretty good
I think I remember those style leatherpurse. I had one. i would love to see it when it is completed. Your doing a really nice job. I look at the horse and think "UNICORN". It is so creative. I love it.

I started drawing with my left hand because it’s too painful to draw with my right. I figure I can do the outline with my right but definitely no shading . Shading with my right hand triggers such deep pain it’s excruciating. I knew this day would eventually arrive. This section of the tree was all left hand . I am actually really proud of myself . Not bad for a beginner! image.jpg

Awesome to see that you are moving forward but when did the right hand start revolting on you so I would suggest tiger bomb and acupuncture

"Tiger Balm" is good stuff but if it's hurting that much maybe a doctor's visit is in order?
Nothing and no one can help the damage I have done. It’s years of detail drawing that triggers a very deep pain and is activated from very small movements I have done repeatedly with the pencil. It’s like Carpol tunnel syndrome in my entire arm elbow and into my right upper shoulder blade area. Temporary relief might work but if I can just use my left that is the easiest solution, So that I don’t t waste money on
Temp fixes. Thanks for the
Ideas and concern.

Time to see a doctor. I know people who have had surgery for similar issues, they report that it's a process but they did get relief.

I know how important your work is to you and how it brightens so many lives. It shouldn't cause you pain to pursue it!

Don’t tell me what to do.
Hey Doc , it's been a while since I've been in this maze of art . Glad to see your drawings again , looking great, so sorry about the hand. That's a real f'ing bitch when you lose the capacity to carry out a passion , a very " dark cloud " . I'm learning as I go that it's a process that carries on . Things just get worn-the-fuck-out ! You'll find a way , no choice , its in your blood . To be creative and romp with the outdoors ...

Aww, it ain't like that.

Going to the doctor has helped me A LOT in the last couple of years; I've gotten cataract surgery to repair damage done from the treatment of my detached retina and now I can drive (more) safely. I've also gotten sinus surgery that corrected issues resulting from a childhood injury that caused me all kinds of breathing problems for going on 40 years. I'm now getting allergy treatments as well. I'm feeling better than I have in years!

You know I wish you only the very best and I would never tell you what to do. I just don't like hearing about you suffering and I hope you don't blame me for that.

This point in my life I know when a doctor can help And when they can’t. Your issues are much more straight forward than mine. I am glad things worked out for you. Don’t you worry about me, I work in healthcare. I know ALL about doctors and when they can help me and when they can not. I ain’t that naive. Lol. At any rate you have a strange way of communicating.
