Thanks for asking! With daily icing and PT exercises, the shoulder is more functional day by day. Still an ugly bruise on the arm, but that will go away eventually. No tank tops for me!
Meanwhile, I did my first mold blow yesterday. We didn't quite get the two parts of the mold together, but it looked really cool anyway. I probably should've saved it, but the annealing kiln was not quite warm enough at the time, and it was just a practice run. I really need a wider mouth for the blowhole, so I'll rework it and/or make another mold, but I'm so stoked with what I was able to do so far! I think I'd much rather blow a sculptural piece than a vase! (or maybe make sculptural vases?) If you have a suggestion, post a comment! Don't know if I'll be able to get to it, but sometimes people see the forest and the trees better than I do. Sometimes all I see is the ferns and the wildflowers in the understory ... :)
