Using my own photographs of a pair of plastic "hand" finger puppets (from Archie McPhee), I developed this pattern of pale skin-tone hands on a deep purple background.

The hands are about 1 inch across, and 1.85 inches high on the printed fabric.

A note about the purple: Purple is one of those colors that seems to mean different things to different people. No other designs receive as many comments along the lines of "it's not as deep as I thought it would be," or "it's more red," or "it's more blue". The type of fabric it's printed on will also affect the color—just look at the difference between chiffon and sweet pea gauze. If you are trying to match to another fabric, please order a swatch first.

A plethora of hands on a deep purple background. This pattern was developed from my own photographs of a pair of little plastic hands I bought from a museum store. (Tip: If you make a shirt with this fabric, you WILL get comments every time you wear it!)
