Initial Shots

For my exam unit, I was given the theme of Relationships. I racked my brain for a few hours to come up with an idea I was happy with. I had originally thought of perhaps doing the relationship between dreams and reality, and although I quite liked that idea, I couldn't think of how I was going to represent it. I then thought of doing relationships between people, men and women, adults and children... but this time, I thought it was just going to look a little cheesy. So what did I go for? Well, after being picky with all my ideas, I came up with one I really liked, and I suddenly had loads of ideas as to how I was going to do it. I am doing the relationships between people's work and their hands. 
Let me elaborate - I was planning on photographing people's hands, mainly because hands can be really interesting as well as explain a story of their own. I was thinking of taking pictures of an artist's hands, for example, covered in paint, clay, chalk and what have you. 
I was thinking of doing a series of three images per hands. I have taken some initial shots to demonstrate how I was thinking of doing it, using my mum as a subject.
Here are the original images:
