Currently I'm only focussed upon the AC deadline suits, one golden jackal full and one folf head. I've got a team getting together this coming weekend to help me with a good chunk of the work. I start physical therapy this Wednesday to help my splitting tendon heal as well as strengthen and regain the mobility. As much as I hate to, I have to put other work on hold currently as I cannot sew, cut, hold a blade, airbrush, or really hold trimmers with my right hand and I cannot risk hindering the quality or risk injuring my hand further. I can do simple things left handed, including sewing, but my airbrushing is rough and scissor work is crude.

I can pattern suits and pin, I have several artists coming to help sew as well as do foam work. This has been going on since March and has been progressively worsening. My hand is weak, I cannot bend my wrist in a direction without my tendon shooting pain up my nerves. I'm going to continue to try and stay on top of things but at the moment I risk requiring corrective surgery if I push onward like I have been.

The cause was overuse and over strain, catching items earlier this ear that were heavy and continual repetitious movement then continuing using it when it should have been resting. Month later of resting and soon physical, I'm really hoping it's almost to an end. Not working, not even being able to sketch is maddening.


Now there is good news among the bitter. As a 'just in case' we are unable to get the Singer serger up and running fully, I have picked up an 1967 Juki table top so that I can provide serged pieces. I'm tired of not providing the quality I want as well as the durability. Once that is in I will be swapping all sewn pieces to that and/or the Singer.
