last two pictures in Semillas y huevos

[asakiyume]

I finished my six-page picture book about planting eggs and incubating avocado seeds. Behold! The egg grew into a tree that has eggs on it:



And the avocado seeds that the hen sat on hatched some avocado chicks:



I sent the text and pictures to my friend and Tikuna teacher and said if she wanted to put it into Tikuna, we could create a dual-language book ;-) (And I said she should tell me if I'd messed up the Spanish, which is highly probable.)

The complete PDF is too large for me to send to my guides, let alone my friend, so I will try printing it up here and mailing it--though I'm not sure postal mail will reach anyone. But in any case, they have the pictures and (minimal) text to get a smile out of, and if my friend does put it into Tikuna, I'll add that in and send her the text and pictures again.

Those avocado chicks are so cute! Love the shine on the sides - avocadoes do catch the light just like that.

[asakiyume]

Thank you! I worked from photos of avocados that I'd taken ^_^

Those are adorable.

[asakiyume]

Delighted that you like them!

[sartorias]

I love the textured drawings!

[asakiyume]

I'm so glad!

The tree certainly made me laugh, but the avocado chicks really take the prize. P.

[asakiyume]

:D Thank you! I hope my friends in Colombia have the same reaction!

I love the avocado chicks. They must be all dark meat, given the amount of fat in avocados!

[asakiyume]

Hahaha, fine with me! (I like dark meat)

I'm kind of imagining that maybe their meat is avocado flesh, actually.

[amaebi]

I imagine them moving very smoothly, with less fretful striving than is the galliforme norm.

[asakiyume]

Yes, I think they're very chill ;-)

[radiantfracture]

The avocado chicks!!!

[asakiyume]

Avocados are perfect little chick shapes!

[queenoftheskies]

I love your pictures so much!

[asakiyume]

Thank you ^_^

That makes me really happy!

[ellenmillion]

SO CUTE! I absolutely love it.

[asakiyume]

:D

I was giggling at my own creation when I stood back and looked at the avocado chicks.

Everything you've posted on this project is absolutely adorable.

Could you upload the file to a cloud service like Google Drive or iCloud or OneDrive, for them to download at their end?

[asakiyume]

Oh hey, that's a thought! I can ask at least. Thank you!

[littlerhymes]

Beautiful! The avocado chicks omg

[asakiyume]

^_^ so glad you like them!

[teenybuffalo]

This is delightful! Adult me and child me are both happy looking at these pictures.
I wonder what a grown-up avocado hen would look like? Glossy, I'm sure.

[asakiyume]

I need to try drawing that next! Definitely glossy!

[amaebi]

Wow, that looks so good and yummy.

I want it.

By which I don't mean to say that I think I have any right to it, nor to any further effort on your prt than you've put in showing it to us.

[asakiyume]

No worries at all! I'm grateful and delighted by your interest! I'm planning to print up a few physical copies, so I will send you one. And I'm also going to try Gingicat's tip of putting it on Google Drive or Docs or whatever it's called now, and if I manage that, you can download it as well. The current version is just Spanish; not sure when/if my friend will actually put it into Tikuna--but I can send you that version too if it eventuates.

[amaebi]

*swoon*

You are, as always, a fountain of grace.

[minoanmiss]

This si so adorable I could explode!

[asakiyume]

Aww, please don't though: I like you whole ^_^

[zdenka]

Aww, that's so cute! I love the avocado chicks.

[asakiyume]

[wayfaringwordhack]

Completely and adorably whimsical. What an inventive idea that you executed so charmingly. I am sure your friends are going to be as delighted as we all are. <3

[asakiyume]

Thank you my dear--I hope so!

[smokingboot]

These are amazing!

[asakiyume]

Aww, thank you! I have siblings who are truly wonderful artistically, so I have a very clear-eyed view of my artwork, but I do enjoy doing it, and I enjoy it very much when other people enjoy it too ;-)

[lokifan]

OMG the avocado chicks!!! So adorable!!!

[asakiyume]

Heee, so glad you like them!
