I’m just getting the hang of these, I love the way they pop off the page. 5 pencils, 3 colours a black and a white, some colour blends take a lot more pencils, I am starting simple!
Nice on black
Still very painful today but I am not relying on back to back painkillers unlike last year with my other shoulder. The dressing is getting very itchy a sign of healing, I have it removed this Friday at my first physio which is always painful and not looking forward to.
Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome.
Absolutely stunning -- just like a precious stone - perhaps an amethyst !! It has certainly the 3D element -- clever girl !!!!!! Glad to hear all is going the right way with the shoulder !
You are wise to minimise your dependance on painkillers, they can bring their own problems and don't always deal effectively with pain. When Katharine had her health problems in late 2019 and early 2020 we bought two books which were of great help in understanding and dealing with pain. They were 'Chronic Pain The Drug-Free Way' by Phil Sizer and 'Pain is Really Strange' by Steve Haines. The two books complemented each other, with good explanations of what pain is, and the mental disciplines to enable pain to be controlled and reduced. For Katharine they worked really well.
Love it. Join in pain! Recently, I got to know very well what it is. I used to think that I was immune to pain, but I don't think so anymore. It breaks us up all day and keeps us awake at night. The only hope it will pass someday.
