So I purchased materials to do life casting of my kid's hands for
Mother's day - alginate (3 minute molding compound) and Hydrostone (a
very hard, white plaster).  I'm hoping to pull three pieces from each
mold, so I can give a set to mother and both grandmothers.

I'm planning on doing the whole hand in a 1/2 gallon milk carton, so
there's room for a fist, or splayed fingers, or cupped hand, etc up to
the wrist.

What would you suggest as far as what hand positions would be
cutest/comical/interesting/etc?

Also, if you haven't done life casting yet, it's very surreal to have
your hand appear in plaster.  I did a test yesterday with just my
finger and I can't quite describe the experience - it's as though my
brain recognized it on a completely different level than I was
expecting.  I suppose there is something more to the saying, "I know
it like the back of my hand"  I put a screw in it backwards to I can
use it as a hook in a wall somewhere... :-)

For the curious, I purchased my materials from http://www.fxsupply.com
.  You can search for "life casting" to find more information on the
process and various aspects of it.

So - any suggestions for poses?
