If these were flesh colored it would be certainly too much - and maybe even a bit funhouse. But rendered in white they seem very sculptural to me. I think they're neat.

Possibly Cocteau, but more Polanski's "Repulsion" for me.

I have the flat palm up. I love it but I do not know what to do with it. It is quite heavy and I have not attempted to mount it in my cheap walls yet. I was going to have it in th ewall by the front door as a key-drop so that my keys would always be "in hand" but turns out keys scratch lines into it. Creative ideas?

soso: its disappointing find out these hands are so prone to scratching. You could use it as a cheeky bedside condom holder! To hold your TV remote? Scarf or tie holder? Could you coat with a clear acrylic no scratch coating?
