These Hands

Hello, I did a really cool swap where our Hands were the size of the book. I did the covers and my own pages. Since there were only 5 participants, including myself, doing 5 sets of left and right hands, front and back and all origionals was not that difficult.

This is the cover, the inside has everyone who participated on each finger. They are made out of very thin cardboard, or chip board and just hand painted. Everyone has the first letter of their name and the 'H' in hands done with flexible wax and the rest are stickers or hand done.

These are my outside pages. I call my spreads "Eclectic Oriental" LOL!!! I used Stamp Zia's oriental chop stamps, and then just lots of asian emphemera that I had lying around. Each page is a little different depending how many of what I had. I really liked the fortune cookie sayings a lot, they were perfect for the fingers. I used Stampin Up brushed copper cardstock - SU has the BEST cardstock hands down!





And these are the insides. I really like them, I used lots of silver and verdigo embossing poweders (they made such a mess in my living room - my vacuum has never been prettier!) I used Stamp Zia's Ginko and Luna Moth Stamps, and filled them in with puffy fabric paints.

They were a bit time consuming, but that was mainly in the planning, I had a lot of fun though. Can't wait to see what comes back!
