Skink

[Cwalker935]

I found a mummified skink in my shop several weeks ago and threw him into a cup that I pour excess PR whenever I am casting. I had a somewhat vague plan to use the casting as a base for a desk pen so I made a desk pen from a black with blue striped casting a few weeks ago. I turned the base yesterday. I wish it were a little larger but was constrained by the cup size that I used to cast the skink in. Interesting results from a whimsical project.

That is recycling to the max, nice job.

I think it all turned out great! The base couldn't be more artfully done! Great job!

Further thought: relatively few skinks have reached immortality (let alone an international forum).
