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.

    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.

  6. 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!

  7. 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!
