Field guide No. 244
Brass seeds in a glass pear
Fruit, but make it jewellery.
A pear made of green glass lies split open on dark marble, its core lined with polished brass seeds. Not recommended for lunch.
Field noteAny glassblower and any jeweller could split this commission. Sculpture, not paradox.
Also possible, also breaking material
The linen loafBread with a linen crumb is a baker using the wrong cupboard. Possible, if inedible.

A matter of tasteMoss and rock layered on sponge is a terrarium with a cake slice’s ambitions. Inedible, still possible.
