Orthopedic Surgery

I noticed that the right arm of my Farrah Fossil sculpture has slowly drooped since she was finished back in early 2007. The arm was now less than 1cm from the base. I decided it was time for surgery. I broke the arm off at the joint and removed any of the excess glue. I mixed some epoxy and repositioned the arm in its proper place. Afte the expoxy set I reinforced the arm with some fine thread to prevent this from happening again. I also used a piece of clothes hanger to further spread her ribs out which will also help prevent any reoccurances. Almost good as new.
