A set of decorated hands





Here is a set of decorated hands created for a journal swap. The idea is that a journal is made out of the different hands created for the swap. Each artist participating has traced their own hands (so these are obviously mine) and then decorates them in whatever style. On the back of each one is a handwritten art quote.
We each have to make six hands in all so I still have two more to go but they are great fun to do!

  6. SUch a neat idea. Reminds me of the hands of my sons that I still keep...one is from kindergarten...done in cement...have it in my garden. The other of my older son's hands...from middle school. They had to trace them and decorate them like you did here. I had it framed...
    I bet it was fun to do...
