I just got back from Buenos Aires...there's a main pedestrian shopping area called Avenida Florida, and a little old man there with no arms who uses his feet to make these beautiful little dolls. He does it publicly and draws a huge crowd and commands quite a price for them. He does everything -- puts the dolls together, sews the clothes together and paints them. I stood there for about ten minutes watching him paint a little face on one of the dolls. It's totally astounding how prehensile his toes are -- apparently, he was born without arms and has been working on doing these things with his toes since he was a child.
