The great refrigerator magnet experiment.

January 24, 2012

Ok, so maybe not THAT great :)   I got a fun kit on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. It’s a mold for a full skeleton, but each piece is separate. So, I’m playing around with ideas for what to do with all the pieces. This evening this came to me. It’s a refrigerator magnet!

The inscription says “Momento mori…” and it has a little half skull (also known as a Death’s Head skull) and a wilting rose beside it. Momento mori is Latin and is translated as “Remember your mortality”, “Remember you must die” or “Remember you will die”.
