The art history student in me has to geek-out for just a minute:
It looks like El Greco painted the hands on these awesome guitar pic earrings!
I've always had a soft spot for the Greek painter, beloved and adopoted by the Spanish of the Baroque period, whose elongated style of portraying anatomy was, and still is, completely unique and eerily moving.
Obviously these earring hands aren't swiped from a painting by the master himself- the fingers look too rigid and the palette is all wrong (blah, blah, more pretentious art history ramblings...), but they are close enough for me!
What do you guys think? Creepy, or a fond reminder of these intense dudes below?
P.S. I got these earrings from Duck's Cosmic Kitchen in Decatur. They sell delicious doughnuts and delightful art earrings- my heaven in a nutshell.

Hey AC's,
I live in Georgia and looking to move to the great Decatur- do you know any affordable places in the downtown area?
Love the blog-keep up the GREAT work!
you got the earrings at DUCK's?! who knew they sold such things. not sure how i feel about el greco on them... hmm... they look like they're praying....could be clapping, i guess! i miss duck's cookies and doughnuts :)
they look very intense. have a happy weekend.
They look great on you, and I'm really impressed with your eye for detail and how you spotted the art reference. :)
Wow, those earings are really cool!
Your blog is really nice :)
Awesome earrings! :)
I don't know about you, but I love a really nice pair of hands. Haha. These earrings are especially handy because if there's a guitar around and you wanna play, then voila!
from one nearsighted individual to another, those earring are great. now all you need is a goya ring or something!
it is really cool to read something about art history. el greco is just great. loving the earrings and especially your connotations to it.
My friend has similar earrings, but I think the hands are a nice extra detail! (Although I know absolutely nothing about art, I really like the way that the hands are done. Especially the first picture!)
I don't know about these, they are abit to creppy for my taste, i too have an art historian in me.
hoaw are you guys?! it's been long

And I do like the artist very much as well.

Hi there-very cute indeed, I like them!
Fantastic. And if you ever meet a cute guitar player who's broken his last pick, you'll be a LIFE SAVER.
whoa, that earring's so unique!
I like the guitar pick earrings but not the hands. It looks too much like some kind of serious religious statement!
Very cool earrings! I love them!
Love those earrings!!
itd only be creepy if the other earring had a face on it! otherwise, it looks awesome
omg.. guitar pick earrings... awesome.
