Having a lot of problems sculpting the current doll. One arm was 'way too long, the other almost too short. Cut off the hand of the too long one and got rid of a quarter inch of arm. Discovered leather glue works fairly well to hold damp clay until the clay can harden. Popcicle stick and blue tape held it all in place. Don't know how I managed the mismatched arms. Probably trying to work and sleep at the same time.
Numb, crooked fingers are a problem, too. They don't always go where I point them, then don't know when they have actually touched something. Fabric can be especially difficult to grasp. And I must always moisten my fingers in order to hold on to pins, needles - anything smooth.
But I shall carry on as long as I can. I will make things until I can't make things any more. This is what I do. This is who I am. I make things.
