Description
This wooden ruler is shaped like a fresh slice of watermelon, with soft pink flesh, a rippling white rind and a bright green skin curving round its lower edge. A scattering of black seeds sits across the pink. The straight top edge carries clear printed markings from 0 to 15cm, with fine millimetre ticks between the numbers. It measures 16cm long, 4.4cm wide and 0.3cm thick. It is light in the hand and slim enough to slip into a pencil case or the pocket of a planner without adding bulk.
We like it anywhere a little colour helps the day along. Keep it on a home office desk for underlining notes, ruling neat margins in a journal or measuring a small sketch. You could also tuck it into a craft box for measuring card and lining up stickers. The 15cm scale covers everyday jobs on paper, and because the ruler is 16cm long, the zero sits just in from the end, so your first mark is easy to read. It also brightens a jar of pens on a bookshelf, where that cheerful slice of pink and green gives a plain workspace a sunny, summery feel.
The ruler is made of wood with a painted finish and printed numbers, so the whole slice is one simple piece. To keep the colours bright, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water, as you would any painted wooden item. Store it flat in a drawer or pencil case so the edges stay crisp. As a small present it slips easily into an envelope with a card. It also makes a lovely companion to a new notebook for anyone who enjoys fruity stationery and a desk that makes them smile.
