Avocado seed carvings

This was modeled after an "evil eye" amulet. To ward off the evil eye.



This is done with an inset moonstone:


And the back of the moonstone one:

 

oh my those are beautiful!! i really love the moonstone one..moonstones one of my favorite stones.

 

It's my favorite too!

Thanks!

 

Those are gorrrrrgeous! great job tarabelle.

 

very interesting work! thumbs up, nice job!

 

Wow, that's so creative! They are beautiful as well!

 

I haven't sealed them at all. I just let them dry for a day or two, peel the skin off, pop them in two (they are in two halves) and carve away. What you carve stays whiteish and the rest browns up. It's fun and if it doesn't work there's always more to try again.

 

Wow, very cool stuff.

I should try it

 

very cool, exactly! That's such a creative idea. I never would have thought about doing that

Peace and love

 

wow thats really beautiful..

That was the first time I inset a stone in one of the carvings. I like it alot. I used a moonstone from a broken and impossible to repair bracelet, that I've had for quite awhile. Reuse and recycle.

 

wow, those are so awesome! i would never have thought of that

 

thats pretty awesome. i took a jewery class last year and it was interesting. i made a cuddle bone keychain and a pendant made out of silver and added this powder stuff and sawdust to place it on. it was fun yet time consuming. i think im going to save my avacado seeds now and try this out!

 

those are really cool, veryy creative. i like them very very much.

 

omigish! You made beautiful, fantastic jewelery out of compost? You rock!


When I first saw that title I was think, "What in the world?" I didn't expect it to be so lovely. That's awesome.

 

Hey, thanks guys! Fleassy showed me how. It's very easy to carve - yall should give it a try!

 

oooh wow Tarra your getting really good at it

drummin, you dont need to seal them as they generally dont degrade, if you look in your compost heap chances are youll find them from about 7 years ago

however the fresher they are the easyer they are to carve, personally i carve them as soon as ive finished eating the advocardo.

 

what do you recomend using to carve an avocado seed? any ideas would be helpful
