Finding Fun #5

Carolyn’s challenge this week is hands.

I remembered that the material for the Covenant Service from the Baptist Union has this image

This reminds me of those times in the playground, where two of us would lock hands and make a seat for a friend, who’d put her arms round our necks and we would carry her, giggling up the path. These hands support one another and work together.

These hands were drawn in 1932- designs for Mickey Mouse – and the beginnings of the ‘three-fingered-cartoon-hand’ tradition.[On the Simpsons, only GOD is drawn with four fingers!]

This lovely quilt is based on the traditional Shaker saying “Hands To Work and Hearts To God”

I have that saying on a bookmark stuck on the shelf above my desk

I love the Mendhi patterns my Asian friends paint on their hands [they brush them over with lemon juice to make them last longer]

But my ‘handy’ fun was at Sunday's Fun Day. I am too old for Face Paints, and anyway they are not pleasant in such hot weather. But I had my hand decorated with a lovely butterfly.

It lasted all afternoon! Two Jessie Willcox Smith ‘hands’ pictures
