GIVE ME AN "O"! GIVE ME A "VOID"! And that's OVOID for you.
The OVOID for me, however, is the purest form apparent all over nature! The ovoid shape of eggs prevent little unhatched nestlings from rolling off the edge of a cliff. The ovoid shape of heads give humans character and intellectual capacity.
Now I gotta go make many more copies of these in many more types of materials. By carving, FYI.
Signing off,
the dude who distills to essences, therefore the skimpy post,
Constantin.
