[Woodcarver] CRAMPS IN THE HAND AND PAINTING?

[Woodcarver87]

   When I get a hand, arm or even a leg cramp, I
head for the potassium bottle. :)

  Good Morning Harry, from Steve in Alaska....

  This may sound silly but I have personally found out that when my body
  starts cramping it is usually a sign of a potassium deficiency.  My Doctor
  told me to either eat more bananas and/or take potassium vitamin
supplements.
  It seems the older I get, my body uses vitamins and minerals different
from
  when I was a youngster.  :(   When I get a hand, arm or even a leg cramp,
I
  head for the potassium bottle. :)

  Best Regards,

  Steve

    hi everyone,

    i need some advise concerning something that always happens without
exception each time i carve.

    each time i carve with a knife for a certain time my hand blocks
completely for a few seconds its like if my fingers are totally stuck in the
holding the knife position for a few moments. stretching helps and after a
break of a few minutes i am fine again. i do many different things with my
hands and this never happens except for when i carve with a knife. (there is
no pain involved just this weird feeling like if your fingers don't listen
to you)

    has anyone had this happen to them before to ,or is it normal?


    the other thing is when i carved a caricature or small carving i
sometimes want to paint it .
    now making a painting is easy i know how to do it but somehow painting
that carving makes me completely want to rethink how i should paint.
    the caving looks good but when i paint it i completely mess it up and
don't seem to get the details right. for excample the eyes are the hardest
to do, i can't get the detail i want and always have to redo it to get right
several times, staying within the lines is ok but sometimes i feel like i
just can't get any straight line going.

    is there any tutorials on painting a carving properly, what pensils and
paints are best to use?

    can you tell me how you usually do your carvings painting? do you pay
any special attention to certain things first? etc...?
