I've been playing more with needle-weaving as part of SharonB's Stitch Explorer 2009 and I have so many ideas floating around in my head! Not enough time to try them all, but anyway, I thought the idea of a hand was a good one. It was hard to get good proportions - even though I used a picture as a guide (basted to the back), the fingers came out longer and fatter than I planned, but still, you can tell it's a hand. I didn't want to spend hours weaving the palm of the hand, so I used a thicker and lighter shade of blue for the weft portion of the palm.
I didn't secure the thumb and 2 of the fingers down, so that I could try making a peace sign. Peace out, man..... yes I was a hippie in the 70s....
Happy Needleweaving,

I love your "peace" sign... very cool.
It's a very cool hand....and I'd love to see it posed in the Vulcan gesture of "live long and prosper" too.
OMG! You've surely won the needle-weaving challenge. That is the cutest thing I've ever seen! I just put a link to this post on my blog. I hope it brings you a few extra clicks.
