Day 4--Hands: Expressive, unique, useful and versatile.


One can use hands to communicate and everyone's hands are shaped a little differently from everyone else's. Take a look they really are different. So useful and versatile that they set us apart from most other mammals. Opposable thumbs help, of course!

With 29 years of lifecasting fun, I have accumulated quite the plaster hand collection. At the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum Art Department my specialty was creating hands for all sorts of figures. I molded them, cast them and fixed them up--guess you could say I was quite handy. Since then I have also lifecast many hands for clients. Today I decided to dig up some plaster hands and paint them to glow in the dark in order to use in a graveyard scene.
