Resting My Wrist













Well after doing a large wholesale scarf order for Northshire Book Store in Manchester, VT followed by another wholesale order for the Peace and Justice Store in Burlington and a number of smaller custom orders inbetween my wrist and thumb joint started to complain big time.

After each day spent applying resist to scarves I was icing my wrist and thumb joint and I started wearing a brace I got from occupational therapy a few years ago but eventually I had to take a break from applying resist. So I have spent the last week dying scarves that I had already applied resist to and painting scarves with anti-diffusant or block printing them which is easier on the wrist.









The three floral ones below were for a custom order. They were also the final straw for my wrist. Squeezing the resist bottle while applying the glue-like resist to all those lines is a real pain in the wrist ;~)
