Texture#2 - Skin

The most familiar texture to everyone who has ever lived in my estimation based on the fact that it covers us from head to toe 24/7/365 until we die and even then some, for a little while.
We assume it is smooth until we take another, closer look -  and see the detail and intricacy of the undulating folds, closer to ripples on the surface, like a million sand dunes all packed into a tiny little desert in the palm of your hand. On your finger tips a hundred miniature frozen waves breaking on the shore where skin meets nail.

Back hand - pores, hair, dimples, crinkles and veins.

It's beauty aside skin and specifically the portion wrapped around your fingers is exquisite. Entirely unique from person to person and distinct enough to be able to distinguish between even 'identical' twins.
I find it staggering the level of detail - of design that is observable and never more than an arms reach away.

'In the absence of proof, the thumb print alone is enough to convince me of Gods existence'
-Isaac Newton (I think?)

The challenge:
Take some time, sit back, closely examine your fingerprints and think.
