.hands.

[idiosyncreant]

Okay, this is my Deviant Art geek-out for the time being...
can I tell you how much I love thinking of something and saying to myself, "I can look at what other people did with that!"

...I won't tell you how many Inuyasha pictures I just collected, because it's silly. Pretty! But RIDICULOUS.


HANDS

You may not be aware of this particular issue, but someone's hands in their work or with the marks of work on them, are just attractive.
This topic was renewed between me and fabricalchemist  as I was watching Iron Man last night. Because this is an...interest...we share.

Grimy is good, but even clean is okay in some cases...

There tend to be certain features a writer is drawn to, that they use in describing characters a lot. Voices tend to be focal when I describe people, when I set up how a scene is. Because that's something I pay a lot of attention to in real life.
I get less chances to describe hands, because while voices are part of every line of dialogue, sometimes hand action isn't necessary. But I notice them. And I could sure tell you about how any given character's hands look...

A few more from my search if you like: (I've titled them with elements...)

Take one as a prompt, or something, if you write.
I think I may start my own collection of hands, starting at work if the jewelers are amenable...
