A Little Too Much Enthusiasm

If you are a regular reader here, and I hope if you aren't, you become one,

you know that I have tendonitis in my wrist that will require surgery next month.

In the meantime, it doesn't matter what I do, 

I always hurt.

So, I decided that it's time to get back to clay and glass.

Today,

an easy day,

I decided to work with clay.

I wanted to make a 

BIG

HOLLOW

BEAD.

I'd say this qualifies as a

BIG

HOLLOW

BEAD.

It's almost the size of a baseball!

OH.

MY.

GOODNESS!

Yes, my hand hurts.

It always does. 

Tomorrow will be the test.

OUCH!

This will be my entry for Katie Oskin's

2015 Polymer Clay Challenge this week.

Was it worth it?

YES, IT WAS!
