Great idea. What did you call the other hand?

This evening I mentioned the brilliant idea to my Tai Ji instructor.  
She loved it and plans to try it with her senior classes, where some of 
the participants can get a little confused.  This will be especially 
useful for her, since she sometimes has trouble with left and right herself.

Thanks for sharing!

I wonder about getting a bulk order of red hair-scrunchies that could be
used as loose bracelets.
