I like the flow state I get into when I'm focusing on small detailed things.

Carving a pear from an avocado seed feels disrespectful for some reason.

[-] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

I have considered doing an avocado shaped one. Is that better or worse?

We need to go a level deeper: a carving of you carving a pear from avocado seed on another avocado seed

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Lol I have no explanation for why I feel like it's disrespectful. It's just existentially funny to carve a pear into a seed of a different fruit.

Pretty cool, had no idea you could carve them

[-] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

You have to let them dry out for a long time before you carve them. Otherwise they are too soft and tend to crack/split as they dry.

I read 'craving' avocado seeds. Glad to see my concerns are bare rooted.
