Hand #305 Hand sculpture holding Yo-Yo

While visiting a dear friend in Jacksonville I noticed a hand sculpture holding a yo-yo on a shelf in her home. 

(my motto with this project "hands are where you find them")

With a big smile, I quickly went over to inspect it up close. It's very detailed down to the cuticle of the finger nails and finger prints!  The hand belongs to her son Clement. I contacted Clement to see what he remembers from the experience...he said  "I did that so long ago, I don't really remember much from the experience. I put my hand into some kind of gelatin like mold with the yo-yo and then they let it harden. Then they poured in the material for the hand. I think I was around 10 years old" 

 don't you just love it?
