The filigree design over the skull symbolizes ever growing renewal over the ghost of the past. This is the original design as featured on Kickstarter. It became their #1 most funded sculpture project of all time. Small is pictured sitting in the hand. See pic of all 3 sizes together for comparison.

Tool, symbol or both?
The bits on this pendant are based on actual bit sizes - including an IKEA standard tool - so 'a bit cross' can be used for light jobs. Just remember the steel isn't tempered like 'real' tool bits and tolerances may vary.
I recommend using it with a red leather cord of about 78 cm/ 31 inch.

Both a tribute to ubiquitous, and lovely, hexagonal colour pencils, and a representation of what was coined by Joris Peels as 'combinatory manufacturing'.
Combine the connector piece with any set of 36 standard hexagonal pencils of about 7.0 mm cross section (measured at the smallest diameter). These types of sets are available around the world from many department stores and art supply stores - I’ve seen good sets for as little as 5 euro.
Examples of pencils that fit are Stabilo Aquacolor 1600, and Caran d’Ache Prismalo I, but there are many more. I’ve recently heard that in the US, Prismacolor Verithin Colored Pencils (available from Amazon and others) work well. Normal black pencils often have the same size and shape and can be used too.

side is read be number of planet gears on the top side. spinning any gear should cause all other gears to move. great care has been taken so die is perfectly weighted no mater what position gears are in.
Has been printed. FUD is to soft to allow gears to work. Looks really cool though.

This is my "Happy Skull" d6 design. It is 24mm on each side (just under 1"), so it is a bit oversized vs. a normal d6 dice. A more standard sized 17mm version is available here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/211715/happy_skull_d6_17mm.html?gid=ug37365 I recommend ordering that one if you're going to print in metal, since i couldn't get this one down to what I consider an "affordable cost" in that medium.
The dice is, despite appearances, reasonably well balanced. Odd numbered sides are opposed by the next-largest even number, and have a single double-thick tooth to help counter-balance the weight of the extra tooth on the even side. Also, each side is rotated 180 degrees from its opposing face. This should put the center of gravity at or very close to the center of the dice, making for a nice, fair roll.
