I paid a whole whomping $0.40 for him.  I base coated him flat black then painstakingly glued one millionz seed beads to him. That is fiddly work, right there, but it was a labor of love.  At some point in the future, I will be doing this again with a larger skull (already dubbed Big Bob, I paid all of $0.80 for him) but I have a few other things in mind for the next one.<\/p>\n<p>When I finished up, I decided that he needed a stand.  I originally thought a flat black candle holder, but I couldn&#8217;t find one that I liked.  I did however find this silver one that I thought would do just fine.  However, I decided it needed a little playing down, it was drawing too much of your focus downward.  So, I put some fluffy trim around the top and pow, the eye is drawn upward and straight into Bob&#8217;s toothy grin like it should be.  <\/p>\n<p>I am quite happy with La Petite Bob.<\/p>\n<p>7\/17\/09  Update:<br \/>\nBob took 3rd place in my division at the competition I entered him into, netting me $100 for spending however long huffing all that glue!
