Ironically, I was working on this just before the auto accident in August 2022 when I almost lost my left arm. I looked at it again in 2024 and 'cleaned it up' a bit, lengthening a finger, etc. It stands just at 12 inches from the floor, including the base and it's roughly 6. inches wide. A few days ago, I dug out some of my old pinkie rings that I haven't worn in awhile. I slipped on a silver one and wore it for a day or two then, on a whim, tried it on the sculptural hand. It fit so I left it there. I used my custom compound, newsprint, wood and Styrofoam. You have to hand it to Original Jones Art occasionally here in northwest Austin, Texas. Wait! Is that the sound of one hand clapping I hear?

Wonder how it would have been if you has hurt your left leg... great artpiece with a storyJohn Rembert Jones 05 Feb 2025
Very moving background story to your sculpture. Take care CharlesDave Matke 05 Feb 2025
Quite awesome Charles . Your compound has a granite/marble quality to it and the fingers and hand positioning have their own emotion . The ring is the personal topper. Bravo : )Joanie Holliday 05 Feb 2025
