Amazing Finger Art & Painting

It was more than a decade ago - when the Internet was not as ubiquitous as it is today - and the only way to share some interesting, useful (and also, not all meaningful) stuff - was via email.

It was during one of such exchanges, that I was first introduced to some amazing finger art/paintings. I'm not sure if i'll be able to locate those old emails - but recently, I found some more of these amazing pieces of art work.
