Khamsa (Good Luck Hand)

I made a khamsa. A khamsa is an Moroccan good luck charm in the form of a hand. A khamsa with spread fingers is said to keep away bad luck. A khamsa with closed fingers is supposed to bring good luck. I made one with closed fingers. I am going to hang it on my bedroom door, but some khamsas are worn as pendants. Here is a picture of mine.

I love the khamsa and I like the fact that you've added buttons for a different arty look.
