Where would I be without those? No matter how careful I am and how much experience I have, whenever I am creating I injure myself in some way. Bandaids are self-explanatory. The aloe helps ease burns and cuts from sharp edges and solder, and the vinegar (thanks for the tip from a fellow EMA artist) helps neutralize grout.
I have short nails (some broken), ragged cuticles, and calluses in strategic places on my fingers, and I am proud of every mark. I feel blessed to have hands that can make the art I love. How much better can it get really?
Each and every scar has a story to tell. That raised white scar just below my left thumb? That where I learned to whittle at age 8 sitting beside my grandfather.

How true how true!!! you should see my grout finger.lol It is so scarred that when a glove tears from sharp edges I don't feel it, when I notice the grout turning pink is when I notice.
Chelle, that's true too. I don't know how many times I noticed "pink" and didn't feel anything! lol
