An orange fellow that sprouted a torso and an expression looking genuinely pleased. The dark green stem on top tells you exactly what it is, while the stacked, rounded segments give it a slightly chubby posture. The hollowed face with its round eye holes and curved mouth keeps the whole thing friendly rather than spooky. The vertical ridges running down the head add a nice textural detail that rewards a closer look.

At 4.7 centimeters tall, it fits right beside a keyboard or notebook without taking up much room. Slide it onto a shelf edge where it adds a splash of warmth to whatever else is there. Small enough to be tucked away in a corner, detailed enough to be found every time you walk past. The stacked body segments are interesting from every angle, and the orange color keeps the whole thing cheerful.

Leave it on a bookshelf through autumn and it becomes the small fellow everyone spots when they come looking for something to read. A quiet companion that turns a room a bit more cheerful just by existing. It is one of those small objects that grows on you over time, the kind you start noticing in different spots around the house.
