Abstract Beet


This is a semi-abstract version of a beet, fresh from the garden. I've deconstructed it, sliced it apart and reassembled the whole thing. What I am most pleased with is the color pallete. I used hand-dyes for the beet and the edge is fused.

Ann,
I love your lively and colorful beet, and think it has alot of personality for a vegitable! It has a very playful attitude, it must be fun living in your garden.

Great color! What fun, just like you actually peeled it away...
Great idea, lovely result for such a humble vegetable!

Wonderful - I love it and almost even want to eat a beet. Your color pallet is lovely.

Ann, Your deconstructed beet is one of my favorites from this challenge.
I like the harlequin coloring.
The background reminds me of the hippie bead doors of the 60's!

I totally see what Penny sees in the "hippie bead" background...LOL What a truly fun piece...It actually appears to be dancing! It is certainly abstract!
