Day 267 Nothing But Blue Skies

267

This is in the Lowry area of Denver, but I do not have any other information on this beautiful sculpture.  Sam thought it complemented her bones beautifully.

The CONTEST Continues

Name those 3 skellies and win a photo of your choice from Sam's Etsy shop!

Name that skeleton!!

So it's time for a contest, which I don't do very often.  I need to name the 3 new skeletons I bought at Costco.  Although they are not anatomically incorrect, I feel they look like boys.  So I am looking for 3 boys names.  I will give a free 8-10 photo of your choice from SamieSam's shop on Etsy:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/SamieSam.  Or click on the boxes in the right hand corner to get to her shop.

 HOW TO ENTER:

1. Leave a comment below with a link from an item you like from  Sam's Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SamieSam copied and pasted into the comment.

 2. NAMES !! I will choose the 3 names, and give a signed photo to each name winner. You may enter more than once with a different name suggestion. If I choose more than one of your names, you get more than one photo!

3.  Contest ends August 30th at midnight mountain time.  

Easy right?

Sam Is Here !!

"Sam"

Those of you who know me well, know I have loved skulls and skeletons my whole life. I am fascinated by the forms that different bones take as shapes.  Everyone has one.  A common denominator that unites us all. 

For my birthday I asked for a life size medical model skeleton...female.  Bob went shopping at his favorite store: Ebay, and found me one.  She arrived yesterday. Her name is Samantha. I will call her "Sam."  She's beautiful, articulating, and my exact height.  She came from American Science and Surplus, a long time family favorite. I didn't know she came from there until she arrived.  So serendipitous.

I will use her as my muse for a 365 project that starts on November 1st, The Day of the Dead. 

Thanks for reading.
