Little Dottie's Hand by nicolaeastwood

Little Dottie's Hand

When Little Dottie was a very little Dot, we had a bronze made of her hand. Born at 25 weeks (and five days!) she was soooooo teeny that the people making it phoned to check that the owner of this little diddy had really was six months old!

I hope the penny gives an idea of scale!

I love this piece it is very special to us.
What a lovely thing to treasure.

Nicola, this photo and your comments gave me shivers up my spine. What a wonderful momento of your very little Dot. Six months old, just amazing. She probably wore those tiny, tiny diapers that were much too big for a long, long time.

This is so amazing, she was so tiny and so precious and little miracle indeed and the Penny shows just how fragile she was...
