I am still using the functional little splint that I liked so much. The OT talked to the Plastics Resident, and they decided that, as long as I'm comfortable with it, I can continue to use it. But the finger must be immobilized until the end of April.
My machine is back, so I started back to work on my latest exhibition project today. Two sides are contoured and needed to be faced and two aren't. So I planned, and plotted, and cut fabric, and tried to figure out how to do it. Finally, I realized that there was nothing preventing me from facing the whole thing in an "envelope'"technique. ( sew a fabric over the front, right sides together, slit the fabric and turn the whole thing right side out, close the slit) It worked!! So much easier than how I had been planning to do it. So 'tis done, and hanging on the wall. And I'm well ahead of the June deadline.
On to the "next". Well, I don't have a "next" planned, so I'm going to finish up a couple of UFOs, and maybe do some playing with odds and ends. I've been experimenting with a very nice piece of hand dyed fabric, but the project only started to come together yesterday, It will require quite a lot of hand stitching, but there are a couple of events coming up where hand stitching will be allowed. Sorting out this project sent me to my stash of "threads". I'm amazed at what sort of things I have accumulated over the years. I found a large skein of Silk Mori that is exactly the right colour for the project, and a spool of Trebizond that works as well. Why I've held onto them over the years, I'l never know, but for today, I'm glad I did.
