Just like my dear blog-friend V. I love hands. They are the first thing I look at when I meet people. That and someone's eyes. I have fallen for people just because of their hands. I love their beauty at all ages.
To celebrate V's decision to open up her own Etsy store, I decided to share some of the images of hands I've collected over the past years. Congratulations V. May your hands produce a lot of beautiful things!

:) :) :) sooner or later... :)
Those pictures are a slap in the face!
Dear E, the image you credited as "Mapplethorpe" is actually my work (http://www.amandinealessandra.com/index.php?/project/maitresse/); I sometimes entitled it "Mapplethorpe" because he was my inspiration for this letterform (it's part of a whole alphabet). Could you please correct this and link it? Thanks
Amandine
Dear Amandine,
Thank you so much for reminding me of the correct credit! I had saved the image under the name 'mapplethorpe' without any further reference. I should have known that it was yours, because I had already used your letter A of the same alphabet in a previous post (with correct credit!) here:

Sorry for the mix-up!
x E.
