Description

"The Fates, in Greek mythology, control each individual’s thread of life, from birth to death.  When a mortal has run their span of years, their fragile thread is severed.

Unless one succeeds in tying the right knots in the right places.

An artist weaves the very thread of their life into everything they create and ties in at the heart of every viewer they move.  An artist ties knots around the skeletal fingers of death, as if to say–“I will not be forgotten.”  -Shauna Rae Daniels alterbiography.wordpress.com/

Nice work with the hand's bones and the "skin". The position of the two normal hands are very lifelike.
Very very enjoyable

It's a bit macabre maybe, but I like the composition. It's balanced. The hands are very well done, you did a real good job!
Next time I'd keep the background white, but that's more a personal thing I think. But the overall picture is really good!

K-J-Malings In reply to ahtibat [2010-07-16 00:29:48 +0000 UTC]

well I can give you a pretty good recipe.

first boil a pot of water stick your hand in! (that's where i got the skeleton hand)

turn the heat down throw in some yarn, let it simmer. I like to also throw in some parsley and and session salt.

allow it to come to a full boil. I like to serve mine with these cute little doilies I made from dead kittens.

not taking yourself too seriously it's a good thing.

In all reality the recipe is
time + practice.


..oh and don't boil your hand it is not as good as an exfoliate as I thought it would be. lol

LOL You don't have to worry about that. Boiled hands doesn't sound too pleasant.

I absolutely ADORE the concept behind this picture. It's brilliant and very well done. I would have been at a complete loss if I was given such an assignement. But you managed something very creative and well done! The only thing I could possible ask for is a bit more detail, especailly in the skeletal hand. Perhaps a bit more texture in the meshing 'skin' that's being crocheted. Just a little more definition. But I still adore it. It's spectacular!
