Behind the scenes

By the way, here is the making of the pair of hands which occasionally appears on this website: both hands are really mine. My right hand, which had a fracture when I was thrown off a mule like a projectile back in September 2010. We were enjoying a beautiful walk on a wonderful day when she broke into an unplanned gallop. I took the X-ray images and superimposed my bones over my favourite textile using GIMP — a fantastic open-source alternative to Photoshop.
