Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

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 1 year ago (2 children)

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 1 year 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 1 year 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.
