Abstract: Let $M_C(G)$ be the moduli space of semistable principal $G-$bundles over a smooth curve $C$. We show that a flat degeneration of this space $M_{C_{Gamma}}(G)$ associated to a singular stable curve $C_{Gamma}$ contains the free group character variety $mathcalX(F_g,G)$ as a dense, open subset, where $g=genus(C).$ In the case $G=S{L}_2(mathbbC)$ we describe the resulting compactification explicitly, and in turn we conclude that the coordinate ring of $M_{C_{Gamma}}(S{L}_2(mathbbC))$ is presented by homogeneous skein relations. Along the way, we prove the parabolic version of these results over stable, marked curves $(C_{Gamma},vec{p}_{Gamma})$.
