Hands for Sale

A post on another blog - Lampwork Diva - Mad for Monday....Hands about sculptures of hands suddenly sent me off on my own search for 'artisan hands' on Etsy, because I used to love those tiny ceramic ones that were so common in hippy/fantasy shops.







Anyway, I had to spread a link to this shop: Moonlight Aura. She creates hands from polymer clay. Masses of hands, mostly in American Sign Language formations:










as well as some symbolic hand pieces, like this insanely brilliant one:


Look at the shape of the base! What lovely attention to geeky detail.

    Hi Hazel, cool post idea! I like Moonlight Aura's ASL hands particularly well...of course my college degree is in linguistics :)

    Thank you for sharing!

    Glad you enjoyed it Dave *G* I remember being interested in the linguistics module at college, but that was only as part of an English degree, so I didn't get to learn all I wanted :)

    (I've been planning a design for the competition, but I have to get through Christmas first :D)
