ASL Friends Fleece Blanket

Friends - the intertwining of two lives. Just as these hands connect, so is the way of friends. They unite, then learn about one another, and grow together, all the while, remaining constant in their pairing, always there for each other. The bond between close friends shouldn't be broken. It is precious and should be protected. In sign language, the index fingers hook around one another, indicating a relationship that can't be shaken - the fingers do more than touch; they link. Sometimes, friendships are linked for a lifetime. In this painting, the colours are bright and happy - much like the relationship of good friends. One colour blends into the next, showing how lives can commingle at different levels, each flowing freely into the next. The symbolism behind the sign is as lovely as the sign itself. And this painting captures the meaning beautifully. This is a perfect gift for any friend. Each time the viewer passes by the wall on which this art piece hangs, he or she is reminded of the connection between good friends, a treasure for sure. It is also the perfect engagement, wedding, or anniversary gift. There is nothing sweeter than the husband and wife who are also best friends.
