tomas_gabzdil_libertiny_made_by_bees_honeycomb_vase_2_previewChinese farmer Hao Xianzhang has perfected the process of growing pear shaped Buddha‘s. The process took 6 years for Hao to perfect the process and involves placing the pears inside a transparent mould while they are still little. Each one is sold for around 50 yuan (£5), from the farm in Weixian county, Hebei province.

This process of controlling a natural production to create objects is an area that has been explored in the past. Tomás Gabzdil Libertiny confined beehives, to create vases.

Anyone know of other examples, let me know.
