I smell like chicken when I'm cooked and Sandblasted Beads!

For those of you who didn't know, I burned myself pretty badly on the torch
recently. Ow. It was so bad that it didn't even blister. It's like my finger
was flash-fried or something. Cooked several layers of flesh in much the
same manner as I cook pork chops: Hard as a rock. But it smelled like
chicken. LOL!

Anyway, that has kept me from the torch. The only time the finger hurts is
when I get it near heat, like the torch or hot water.

So to keep my easily bored little brain from glazing over, I tried
sandblasting last week! Ohmy! How cool is THAT??? I really need to get some
pics taken for you guys, but first I have auction beads to ship and stuff. I
won't even try to describe them, other than to say I will definitely be
doing more sandblasting.

The problem is that they are so labor intensive I don't know how I could
ever ask for them what they are worth in time alone.

So sorry about your burn. I missed that info the first time around.
How long before it heals?

Silvadene is a miracle. I got a huge and horrible burn on my leg during my
freshman year of college and that stuff had just come out on the market. It
was a blessing!

Wow that must be so painful. I burned my whole leg once, so I can relate,
but not to the chicken stage! Do you still have a fingerprint? Did you get
it looked at and are you using the miracle Silvadene cream?

Oouch!!! (mommy type healing kisses)
I cant wait to see what your sandblasting is like! As to not knowing how to
ask as much as they are worth.. just DO it. You never know.. someone might
just pay what they are worth, especially if they are scrumtious and
unique...
(thats just a thought, I dont know about selling stuff.. but.. could it
hurt?)

No fingerprint. And a huge divot where the flesh used to be. My medicine of
choice has been puppy spit.

Ouch, Tink!!!! Sorry about your burn (I missed the original post). Hope it
heals really fast so you can get back at the torch soon (gotta make more beads
to sandblast, right?!!). Can't wait to see your new stuff!

Take heart, Tink! I stuck my pinkie finger right into the flame a few years
ago. Same chicken smell, so deep there was no pain for 3 days. I used
Silvadene too, kept it dry as often as possible, and it healed beautifully.
Even got my fingerprints back after a few months. In the meantime, if you
can, pad the burn with gauze and cotton balls and it won't be so heat
sensitive when you torch.

ouch - poor Tink! Been there done that...
did you get some Silvadene from a doctor?

I've done myself a few times - most without incident - but -
- I had one like that ..(hit my arm with fully hot rod of boro... yeah - like
1400 degrees!) and thought all was well - and it went bad on me on the third
day.
WAtch it carefully.....

I think sandblasted beads can be very interesting - and of course you know
about Mickelson and how he uses it in his work - really amazing stuff....
sigh....

The hand is healing remarkably well. To the point that I may be able to
torch tomorrow. Yay!

And yes... I figure if I'm gonna play with Robert Mickelsen, I'd best hone
some of my skills in preparation. And that includes learning to play with
boro. I have some clear Kimax, but my color selection sux. Can't even get
excited about trying it until I have some cool colors to play with. But boro
is SOOOOO confusing. What you see AIN'T what you get. And I don't even know
what brand is the most colorful. I like colorful :-)

I took some pics of my blasted beads tonight. They're not bad for a first
attempt.
