Theme Thursday - Hands


Hands are parts of the body that have always fascinated me. I notice them almost immediately when I meet someone. Often this begins with a handshake, a gesture or a wave. Perhaps the hands are working or offering a kindness. The latter is what I was trying to capture in this round robin journal page that celebrates not only youthfulness but also friendship. This is my entry for the Theme Thursday challenge this week.

DEAR HEATHER,
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. IT REMINDS ME OF MY COUSIN AND ME WHEN WE WERE THAT AGE. THE COLORS ARE SO VIBRANT AND THE LITTLE CHILD'S HAND REMINDS ME OF THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH AND FRIENDSHIP.
LOVE IT.

Too cute! I also use "hands" a lot in my art journals. But I try to draw them, am getting better at it. I used to draw deformed hands :^( Patsy from
