Picture
​"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.
