Stars, wizards and hand warmers

So it's Friday and a good day to put up some of the entries to the weeks challenge. So Hands was the topic and we have had a lot of people join in this week. Thanks to everyone that put effort and time into joining in! I know how busy your lives get so it really makes me smile lots to think that you are inspired enough to take time out of your schedules to join in.

I actually made time this week between making hoops (pictured in the background) to make my wizard Frank the finger puppet. I'll be honest, he isn't entirely finished. If I take his hat off he is bald and in need of some hair. He also needs a wand and maybe a cape.

Errol the Velociraptor seems to think Frank is dinner, but I'm sure with all his magic powers Frank will be able to get away! So, now onto some of the infinitely better entries than mine.


The lovely PrincessTigerMouse entered these pictures of her hand with her impressions of what her hand means to her written on it.
She also created these recycled fabric hand and arm warmers. A very talented lady, I'm sure you will agree.

This picture was taken by StarPixie who I have known for sometime. She is someone I much admire and love. For such a petite lady she is packed full of talent and beauty. You can see more of her gorgeous photos on her flickr account.

This is a picture of a mothers hand on an unborn child. The mother in question is the lovely Sarah. She already has one son, so this will be her second child. Hello little belly bump!Grow strong and healthy little one.

Rosebud has also posted on her blog 3 gorgeous photos that speak volumes about the things that are most important in her life. Rosebud, thank you for joining in each week! I appreciate your support.

We also have another blog entry from the most fabulous Mithi. I met Mithi through going to Home of Poi gatherings. Again she is a petite lady packed full of talent and beauty. Take a look at her blog and see just how talented she is. My personal favourite item on her blog of late is the pirate ship. Although it's hard to choose with so many fabulous artworks to pick from.

Thank you all so much for joining in!

Hands Challenge

This week we have chosen 'hands' as the word of the week. Why hands? Well in the last week both Jon and I have cut, bashed and bruised our hands in one way or another and it reminded me just how important to me my hands are. Without them life would be very difficult.

If you want to join in the challenge this week all you have to do is share with us something inspired by the word hands. You can either send me you item via Etsy conversations or put a link in the comments on this blog post to what you have made/written/photographed/seen. All entries will get full credit with a link back to any website/shop you might have. It's all just for fun so let your imagination run wild.
