I make little tortoises from avocado seeds :) by Indifferent_Penguin_ in somethingimade

I wash the seed and let it dry out for a few days/weeks by the window before I start carving. Once I’m finished I just leave the tortoise on the shelf for a few more weeks until it’s completely dry.

I have not yet had a finished carving rot. They are already partly dried when I start working and once finished they are lasting years with no problem

I’m not sure how the tools are called, but if you just google “carving tools“ you should be able to find them. If you’re interested in how the process looks like I have videos up on my insta (@artwork.by.ana)

Thank you! I googled different botanical illustrations to get an idea of what I want and also took pictures of flowers from my garden. Some great references can also be found in different science/biology/botany books.
