An Obsession with Hands



It all began with this pair...



I guess it's no surprise that someone who often works with their hands might find them of interest.

The truth is, I've never stopped being interested in dolls. I have a collection of Barbies. I love perusing listings of art dolls on line and have read more than a lion's share of books about making them. I have fallen in love with antique dolls and can't pass an opportunity to handle the often creepy but intriguing metal doll molds or vintage doll parts.

So the next logical stepwas to create dolls of my own. Hence my foray into making hands. Small hands.  Hands that look a hundred years old. Talisman hands. Relics. And symbolic hands.
