Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Over the last two months of 2015, I barely touched my dolls. I found sanding the surface very uncomfortable as I didn't have normal strength in my left hand. My doctor told me the reason might be carpal tunnel syndrome or possibly just overuse.

Having a rest for two months made no great improvement, so I decided to continue working very gradually, 30 - 90 minutes per day.
This work included fixing the joints, making the surface smooth, buying fabric for dressmaking and applying Gesso to make the surface completely white, which is now ready for painting the skin colour.
