"Describe the texture of an everyday object. It could be the coarseness of denim or the cool smoothness of a pebble."
The skin on my hand is a bit like soft-focus shrunk-down wrong-colour elephant's skin.
There are some hairs in places - more on the fingers - and at some angles these gleam near-invisible golden, and at others they are a dark black/grey/brown.
There is what looks like a very definite x in the knuckle I am currently looking at. This knuckle says no. There are, of course, many other little criss-crossing lines, a bit like - is it woodcut pictures, or etchings? You know those printed pictures from the old days that are all cross-hatched and liney.
At times there is a hint of whiteness, where winter is trying to persuade me to buy moisturiser.
On my thumb, which is straight at the moment, there are deep, roughly parallel (although crescenting) crevices, and what appears to be a white, raised, v-like foam puffy letter. It looks like a scar, but if it is, I don't know how it got there.
