I didn't look at any reference images, just made it from feel and went a bit too much on the pear shaped pip, but it's not too far off the variety I'm used to up here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/d/21334-2/avocado_fruit_cut_open_with_seed-dsc08344.jpg<BR/><BR/>and http://www.greengiantfresh.com/images/avocadoesnew.jpg<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, the props et al are huge here, huge. It's kind of nice to have the extree size to play with to be sure. Of course the set then requires a huge space too. We saw an artist warehouse space today that makes our place look like a closet! All of Halfland could fit into a tiny corner and the sky could soar to 30'! It was expansive to consider!<BR/><BR/>The Pink Snail is featured in this button art (which you should have received last year?): http://bp0.blogger.com/_u6p5H_ALavY/RmkGiLapRUI/AAAAAAAAATs/Flvbzr5OFeo/s1600-h/Snailwcurvetype.gif (Let me know if you didn't and I'll mail you out one.)<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking about using the rubber clay failure for the pupp, it kinda works, naaah, considering doing it only about 30% so I'll likely cast or build anew.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-26095302452883050022008-11-16T16:58:00.000-08:002008-11-16T16:58:00.000-08:00More yummy Thirdland food props!But what's with th...More yummy Thirdland food props!<BR/>But what's with the avocado seed?<BR/>All the avocados I've seen have a large round seed, but your seed looks pear-shaped. Great skin though!<BR/><BR/>I'm a bit relieved to hear how big your gorgeous foodie props are - now I don't feel so bad about getting my propsmaking ass whupped, mine are half the size at 1:6 scale.

Thanks for the interest.<BR/><BR/>I believe the 1/3 scale is what Corpse Bride and others, perhaps Coraline ?, are made in. It's large for a home production. My husband worries that if we have to move from here we wouldn't have room for the large set. I told him I'd do what I had to. Worst case, I'd build an enclosure for it out of doors.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, it looks as though we can stay for the time being. A positive result of the housing/banking crisis.<BR/><BR/>Rock on.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-90210314945172634632008-11-14T19:24:00.000-08:002008-11-14T19:24:00.000-08:00Hey Shelley,I should have known!

Geez...<BR/><BR/>"I'll pick one of them up and think it real--only 2/3 too small to be real."<BR/><BR/>I read that but it didn't really register, y'know? Well, thanks for your response I went over the post again and picked up on what I missed the first time. <BR/><BR/>Now keep in mind i've only been following Halfland for a few weeks now so I don't know all the in's and out's of it yet...<BR/>Thanks!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626982722336799778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-5128006354654586202008-11-14T18:53:00.000-08:002008-11-14T18:53:00.000-08:00HA! no small hands, Michael, that's so funny, no! ...HA! no small hands, Michael, that's so funny, no! The scale in Halfland is HUGE! it's 1/3 scale. In other words, the 6' tall Answer Tree would be 18' tall in our world. Everything in Halfland is 1/3 scale, cottage, food, puppets, everything.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Sven and Justin!!Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-6396855112462715142008-11-14T16:03:00.000-08:002008-11-14T16:03:00.000-08:00such detail! jriggitysuch detail!<BR/><BR/> jriggityjriggityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424328610725755022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-4305631750773111422008-11-14T13:46:00.000-08:002008-11-14T13:46:00.000-08:00Such lovely pomegranates. :-)Such lovely pomegranates. :-)Sven Bonnichsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100990744199378139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-23471788098927418882008-11-14T09:56:00.000-08:002008-11-14T09:56:00.000-08:00Spectacular food props!

Or is it that the cottage interior will be a bigger scale? Or maybe you have small hands??Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626982722336799778noreply@blogger.com
