Orange peel sculpture

While many will discard the peel when they eat an orange, others will save the zest for later use. There are a few who will turn it into a work of art. Jeu d'oranges is a site that hosts a monthly orange peel sculpting contest. The name of the site means Orange Game, or Game of Oranges. To enter your creation, you must carve it out of one whole piece of peel and photograph it on a black background, without letting it harden and dry. Every 15 days, the peel with the greatest number of votes will be posted on the homepage. The site is in French, but you don't need to be fluent to view their amazing orange peel galleries. Another way to make viewing the site easier is to use Google's translation feature to view the page.

Thanks to Bibi for the tip!
