I am in love with Sign Language. Ever since I was a little girl I have loved this language. It has led me to my fascination and slight obsession with hands. I have an ever growing collection of hands. I was inspired by the website www.skulladay.com and decided I needed to start my own 365 day project. It took me awhile to get the nerve up to start but I thought the best day to begin would be on my 30th birthday so thanks for joining me on this long and wild journey.

Upcycled Hand
I have wanted to try out this technique for awhile now. It is just plastic shopping bags that I cut apart and ironed together. They form their own fabric which can be pretty sturdy. I bought a back pack at the SLC Arts Festival this year that was made out of it and I love it. (It has a hand on it so I was a sucker for it!) I cut out letters that spell out the word "HAND" and multiple hand shapes too. I was going to make a little clutch or zipper pouch, but I like it so much, I might frame it or something.
