To be honest, it's something I've always found interesting. I once checked out a HUGE book on it at the library (but didn't get very far). I think things like this can be good devices to reach are more introspective state. It's a great conduit for self evaluation, but I don't put much stock in any of it as a fortune telling type thing. Other than that, it's just a lot of fun to learn about it. That way you can attack other people's hands and tell them stuff about themselves.
Anyway, there is what I learned when
Tanja looked at my palm. (keep in mind she's not an actual palmist):
1. according to my lifeline: I had a rough child hood, but it's looking like it's
goona be
gettin easier. I'm going to have a fairly short life possibly with some
minor health problems toward the end. It's deep, and well developed so It's going to be really rich (already is by the way).
2. according to my head/intellectual line: I'm smart. And will continue to be so.
3. according to my heart/relationships line: bad relationships at the beginning of my life. but it's really deep and almost perfect so it's really important to me and I'll have a good love life.
4: according to my artistic/creative line: I am. It also crosses my intelligence and heart lines which is apparently good (I don't know what it means though).
5. according to the little lines on the
pinky side: I'm gonna have two kids.
6. according to some more little lines there, I'm gonna live on both sides of the equator, quite a few times on the south side and one time (really far south) it's gonna make a bit impression on me.
In addition to all that, I'm gonna die shortly after my husband dies. Oh and...uh...I forgot.
So in conclusion, I think I'm gonna hire a
shweet palm reader for my next b-day party. ;)
You'll want to be sure to clear your calender...
This is pretty much suprememly creepy. I read something about the girl who made this. It's a wall in her bedroom. Pretty much awesome. But it's inspired me to do something similar with hands and a lightbulb. I know how to wire one now and the idea is that they will cup the socket and then the wire will come out the back. I want to do them out of plaster, so I have to learn how to do that (any help on this account is really appreciated). I want to do one you can mount on the wall like a bracket and one that sits on the table. I'd like to work the wire in somehow so it's decorative, we'll see. I also have ideas for mushroom side tables that hang from the wall like real mushrooms and I don't know what to make those out of yet. I'd like to do acrylic or something but that's product developement for another day. I also want to try hands on a wall that hold up things like a toilet paper towel holder. or a coat rack with a crooked finger. Anyay, I'm gonna go now. I have other things to do with my life...like live it.
...well, certainly not this guy. girl? 
Ok, so the picture doesn't do it any justice. But it looks really really nice. I forgot to take a before pic but trust me, it was not good. (Not the entry--the mirror). I bought it at DI for 15$ (the mirror itself is worth more than that) and it had a horrible wood laminate all over it that was chipped and ugly. It also had a fru-fru apron up top and weird bumps on the side panels. So we cut off the wierdness and I sanded and painted it and then we hung it and put up those hooks underneith. It really brightens up the entry with all the light reflected in there. On the wall to the right is going to be a picture of a grove of trees (the Sacred Grove actually) and then we'll put a small stool in the corner for taking shoes on and off.
