A howling at moon is not viable option in cement building, spending the nights splattering paste and paper everywhere was quieter and more constructive. Now I have about 40% recovery of left arm and hand but unable to grip or close the left hand. Making something beautiful out of paper is a way to relieve the stress and pain. Every other day, I had to go to clinic, so the paper in recycling bin was irresistible temptation as I passed by. The molds are made with up-cycled shoe-box tissue and packaging paper from bath salts- and then finished with other papers and fabric.
