Helping Hands "Thanksgiving Table Display"...

Last week we were given a work challenge to create and submit an original "Hand Turkey" for a our company's Harvestfest event. Of course, me being me, I couldn't just make a plain "hand turkey" drawing on paper to turn in for my entry.

So, what I came up with instead was this fall themed table top display. I traced over both my left and right hands on water color paper, to make the hand turkeys and give it some weight. Then sandwiched the hand cutouts between two pieces of brown felt, that I then ran through my embosser. Added a few fall inspirations with flowers and embellishment picks on floral foam, attached it to a glass block and added some lights. I wasn't expecting to win, but I really wanted to give it my best shot. To my surprise I actually won!

After they announced the winners, I decided to auction of my piece to help a coworker who's young friend was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer. All proceeds from the auction went to the young lady and her family. If you would like to learn more about her cause or to donate please visit--
