RA

So apparently I have Rheumatoid Arthritis.  I'm just pleased to have a diagnosis and a treatment plan.  The no fat diet (low inflammatory) is kinda hard to get used to but it dovetails nicely with my "get fit" regime. I'm almost pain free for the first time in a year and I can't wait to get to my studio and start sending out resumes.  So expect some newness within the next three months.  It will take me that long at least that long to get to a pain free state and to get to my studio, which is currently many states away from my current location.

...thank goodness.  While this year has had its good moments I am glad for the years passing.  The best thing that has come from this year is the people I have met.  I have met so many people in Savannah that humble and inspire me and I have made contacts that I feel will last a long long time.  
The bad things from this year seem innumerable, including illness, death, break ups, and a feeling of being in limbo...my hands are no better, but we have ruled out carpel tunnel, lupus, rhumitory arthritis, and a thyroid problem as the cause of my hurts.
Regardless I intend to sail into this new year and take advantage of all the opportunities I can, and I wish everyone else luck and blessings for this new year.  May it make you stronger, better, and happier in all things.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In an effort to be more of a presence on deviant art, and to stop lurking about peoples brilliant pages and start participating I have decided to start updating again, to start commenting more on peoples art, and to try and use this as a platform for commissions and a general sharing of art. and exploring other art forms as well.  
I'm having to find new ways to create because I have developed carpel tunnel AND tendinitis in both hands and arms.  It makes even the simplest for of metal smithing difficult and painful.  I am resting my arms as much as possible and wearing braces all of the time, but I miss working with metal terribly.
So perhaps I will take up photography or start drawing again.  I am applying to grad schools across the world and waiting to take the next step in my life and move forward from stasis. I can't keep the past current, I can't see the future, and the present snaps like twigs underfoot. and all that makes me incredibly sad yet hopeful sometimes.

I'm slowly but surely updating my images, I'm not a very faithful deviant
