Description
This cheerful wooden ruler takes the shape of a sausage dog, his long body stretched out to carry a 15cm scale. He wears a red striped jumper with blue trim at the collar and cuffs, and has a deep red floppy ear, rosy cheeks and a friendly smile. The scale runs along the top edge of his jumper, marked in centimetres and millimetres from 0 to 15cm. From the tip of his tail to the end of his nose the ruler is 22.5cm long and 6.9cm at its widest, so the extra length beyond the scale is all dog. It is made of wood and just 0.3cm thick.
We think it belongs on a desk or in a pencil case, ready for ruling a margin or drawing a neat straight line for a sketch or a page of notes. A 15cm scale is a handy everyday length for notebooks, diaries and smaller craft projects, and the ruler is slim enough to slip in beside pens and pencils. It sits happily on a study desk, a craft table or next to a sketchbook, and it brings a welcome spot of colour to a plain stationery drawer. Sausage dogs have a way of making people smile, and this one does it while being properly useful.
The ruler is made of wood, cut to the outline of the dog from tail to nose, with his jumper, face and the full scale printed across the front in bright, clear colours. The markings are crisp and easy to read, with every centimetre numbered. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water, as you would with any small wooden piece. For a cheerful little gift, wrap it with a few coloured pencils and a fresh notebook, or keep it for your own desk.
