3 MONTHS SINCE I POSTED LAST. That's just downright sad. Between the four summer session classes that I took between May and August, preparing for Dental Hygiene school, actually being in Dental Hygiene school, and trying to maintain a somewhat normal sense of communication with family and friends, it didn't really leave me time for much more. Except for eating and sleeping. And those two things I'll NEVER give up. HA! I'm working on two small (SMALL) projects right now for a friend that I think I'll barely be able to finish by the deadline. And by barely, it means stay up the night before until I finish it all. And I can't post pictures, since it's kinda-sorta a surprise.
I ended up sending off the resin cast of my hand to the company who was going investigate making custom fitted nitrile gloves. I haven't heard a word from them since I sent it in June. Not a "we got it!" or a "YEP!" or a "NOPE!" when it comes to actually making it. Oh well. I tried, right? So far, I can manage with the XS gloves on my left hand just fine. It just takes me an hour to put the glove on.
As for art... how's about practicing with my dental instruments every night? NOW THAT'S ART. My gosh, I never realized the precision involved with instrumentation! It's a thing of beauty. But hey, if I trained my hands to sculpt, I can train them to un-sculpt some calculus from teeth.
That's all for now. No pictures to post. No thrilling stories of crafting. Maybe someday soon, I promise. I'll be sure to keep my camera handy when I pull the all-nighter at the end of the month.
