I've been getting a lot of orders for my large (to me) ceramic animal sculptures lately, and it's been quite a tough go, but I'm getting through them slowly.
Generally, I can work at a pretty good pace and get a couple done a week, but now, due to a recent hand injury, I'm moving much, much more slowly. I am a right-handed person generally, but when I sculpt, for some reason, my left hand is dominant. Unfortunately, the flexor tendon for my thumb in my left wrist just snapped recently, and now I cannot bend my left thumb. I had no idea how vexing and how incapacitating such an injury could be. And, unfortunately, because I live in a small town, I guess, the medical community are dragging their feet getting me set up for surgery. In the meantime, I'm trying my best to get these sculptures done, albeit slowly, because after the surgery, I won't be able to use my left hand for at least a couple of months.
I have a few that I had already completed before the injury, and I'll post photos of them in a day or two. Some of the ones I'm building now, I'll show them in their in-progress stages.
