A couple of weeks ago, Deb from Learning 2 Just Breathe posted she had finished a project. She had found some meditating skeletons, painted them, and mounted them on a wooden base. The Zen Skelly could hold a tea candle or it could be used as a brush/pen rest. Deb ended up with a couple of extra Skellys so she offered one to me.
Postal tracking indicated the package would arrive on Halloween, but it arrived on Friday. Purrfect 🐈⬛
Everything packed all nice and neat. Since he was easier to pack and ship separated from his base, that's how he arrived. Deb told me I could glue him to the base and suggested using E6000 glue.
Even though I have the low odor E6000, Skelly Zen is stable with a piece of museum putty stuck to his very flat bottom. I swapped out the tea light for a container that will hold gouache. Skelly fits in with all the other desk buddies and settled right into his job holding pens. I sipped my tea in my Halloween mug and admired how good he looks.
I get enough blank stares around here so I added a pair of baby blue crystals to his eye sockets. So handsome.
Thank you so much, Deb. Skelly Zen is awesome and just makes me smile.
