Beautiful!

the sequel

i need this as a decorative piece

The cone is likely older then the tree. And the tree grew around it more then likely due to the sap causing it to stick

It would be amazing to have a collection of these over the years

Looks like a 1970s house.

What is with the dice in several of these?

I really want to know what job this is

If I'm not wrong, these vessels are used to store and transport water. It's called xylem and it's present in every plant, but it's stronger and larger in cacti because of dry climate.

This is an art piece in itself

This is very like fordite-otherwise known as Detroit Agate. Its automobile paint found in old auto factories. The layers of paint dry rock solid over the years, and people use it to make jewellery from. It can be cut and polished just like quartz, and has lovely swirling multi coloured stripes.

??? Wait. oh. what.. you... people don't... clean... their palettes regularly (obviously I am not a pro... I know next to nothing... other than paint exists)

Should be on display

A kind of Fordite.

That's cool!

The pallete looks like a paper bowl

In Missoula, MT there's a steel wall that they call the graffiti wall that gets a few inches worth of paint built up throughout the year, and every winter it gets super cold and the paint comes off in sheets. There's a wall cleaning weekend every spring to scrape it clean and many local artists use the paint chunks. Someone made a skateboard.

Should make cup coasters out of it

If you’ve never heard of “fordite”, you should check it out. It’s layers of paint from painting cars and they polish it and make jewelry out of it. It’s a similar look to this, where you can see all the layers of color.

Is this really a palette though? Is this not a bowl?

It belongs in a museum

What a thrifty person that is!!

That's a fancy way of spelling "painter's bowl."

Must be acrylic paint. Oils wouldn't do this. My palette is wooden and it gets cleaned when the work in progress is done.

...it's how Lacquer-work starts....!

I would love to see this cut into slices and made into another piece of art. 💚

Oddly satisfying...

It's such a wonder humans could think about creating beauties like this and actually make it function

awwe kitties

This affects my trypophobia

Love it

looks like a fimo pendant

I usually like hard boiled eggs, but for this one I'll make an eggception.

Is is actually burning or does it appear to be burning?

interstellar presents: the parrallel universe!

Looks like the bones of a human foot on tip toe.

It's hip to be square

Too bad it was cut to firewood size. I bet some wood crafters would have loved using this...

Need the fruit for scale

That's huge!

Break open the billiard ball!!!

Every single person involved in making this has my respect

SQUISH IT NOW

Russian nesting lighters

That's why they hurt like f*ck. The rubber coating just prevents it from penetrating the skin.

alien vibes - colored version

Their bones are not as heavy as I thought. They're like bird bones, full of air pockets.

...uh, whut? LOL

Ouch.

The fact that somebody invented and then created this, amazes me.
