Because I love and appreciate them so much, I collect things that look like hands. I have several glove forms, cast iron hands, etc. I'm always on the lookout for them. A few years ago I spotted one at a little shop in Old Town Temecula. It was a little pricey so I didn't buy it. But, I haven't forgotten it. My daughter knew that when it came time to do Christmas shopping and bought it for me. I can't believe she spent so much on my gift but it shows me (in one more way) how much she loves me. What a sweetheart!
Here it is....
It's cast iron and heavy! And, as you can see, it's going to be a lot of fun to use when I do photo shoots of my projects...
It's holding some Hollyberry yarn that I've been spinning...
I love all the hands in my collection. But, this is one is special!

love it! especially how it'sholding the yarn - what a great way to display it.
That looks familiar! :-) That was a sweet gift from Lauren. Too bad I wasn't there when she bought it. That would've been a fun secret to have. ;-)
Hugs,

I'm soooo happy you love it! You deserve it. I love you! =)

That one really is a beauty - how amazing that its utterly static and yet conveys so much movement but even more - the potential for movement - I can't help thinking when I look at it that at any second its going to give tha ball of yarn a big squeeze!
That is so cool.
With my husband being an artist, he is fascinated with hands. He can spend an entire three-hour session at the art center drawing the model's and other student's hands.
You new one is quite beautiful.
