The swelling is reducing, the pain is lessening and starting to get some movement back in my hand. I have returned back to work and all is moving in the right direction,
It was a huge risk going back to work after injuring my finger, but with so little time left and so much to do I felt like my dream was slipping away from me. So I decided to jump in with two feet and one hand and try my best to accomplish something no matter how slow the progress was.
The raised beds that were made at the local fabricators needed willow weaving onto them, so I decided to start with those. Using fresh willow withies that required no soaking were used so that I could keep my hands dry and reduce the risk of contaminating my wound. They are very supple when fresh and this helped, I have been finding many new ways of holding withies with my body parts whilst my right hand weaves, trapping the withie between my elbow and waste proved the most effective as it allowed me to keep my hand raised to help keep my finger out of the way and to aid in the reduction of the swelling.
So what did I accomplish? Two circular raised beds are now complete.
Only 2 circular raised beds and 1 large 4m raised bed to weave and 12 sculptures to finish off!
