To the Point

Product Description

I saw a vintage wooden pointing hand similar to this piece being auctioned one day and loved its nostalgic flair. It had once hung in a department store to indicate the exit. It auctioned for over $2000 and it just stayed on my mind after the bidding was over. I decided I had to make one, albeit with much more detail. I also added a cuff and a cuff link. A pointed hand turns out to be a really versatile piece of art that is also quite functional! You can tie a string around the finger when you need to remember something important, drape a piece of clothing on it (a neck tie or bra, would be fantastic!) or let it point the way. It sits as well as hangs. Use your imagination to decide the perfect use and location for you.

This sculpture is an original, one-of-a-kind creation, never copied or mass produced.

Care

This sculpture is crafted with a hand made paper fiber and plaster clay that hardens to a tough shell finish. After drying, it is then sanded (if necessary) hand painted and coated with a clear matte finish that makes it water resistant. Though this finishing process adds another layer of protection to the finished piece, it is not water proof and is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose it to extreme moisture or heat.

Paper mache is a tough but relatively lightweight material. Mishandling can create chips, scuffs or cracks. Treated with care it will last decades.

This piece requires little care. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth.

Special Note

I’ve always had a passion for things with a history. Old, worn, well loved things just seem to evoke a sense of purpose and meaning in me that isn’t found with new materials. Working with paper, creating plaster clay and incorporating other vintage items in my work is a wonderful way to create pieces with personality and soul.

I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed creating it!
