Soft pastel artist had a cut on her thumb. She used a rubber glove and cut out the fingers so she could continue creating.

I don’t usually wear gloves while working with soft pastels, but here we are! A battle wound (aka a thumb cut) from this past week led to some improvisation. Not gonna lie, it feels weird but also kinda cool. Anyone else ever had to adapt their art process due to an unexpected mishap?"

This is amazing!! 😮
