Bloom & Wood Handprints for a Good Cause Lith writes: Just wanted to drop you a line to provide some info about a couple of LOTR actors who participated in a charity project to benefit children’s charity in the UK. Back in 2005, an organization called Celebrity Handprints collected inked handprints from over 100 celebrities, and now their first collection of many of them is available for purchase. Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom both appear (at least their handprints do) in the book; both actors’ handprints are also being offered as limited edition early release prints.

Perhaps some fans out there would be interested in owning the book or one of those limited release handprints, while contributing to aid for children at the same time.
