I just found this thread, after replying to the other!

I think that having this outlet and talent is very helpful when we have to
face adversity. It is a shame that society makes it so hard to live off your
talent. I found that to be true as well.

I cannot work when I am in pain. I can putz around, but not seriously work creatively. So I have started doing sculptures and that seems easier somehow.

The creative part is smaller, and the hands on is larger if you get my drift?

Thanks for posting your work. You should be very proud of it!
