Brightening up the winter garden and watching the effects of the weather

End of the vegetable line for this year.

I've put the last ones out in the garden to see what effect the weather will have on them.

Here are the apple peelings. Wonderful colours! I've placed them in  a tree.

I've joined all the parsnip peelings together and sprayed them silver They are resting by the pond.

The corn dollies from the summer are already in decline. Brown and crumbling.

More vegetable waste!
The shapes more or less form themselves. The fun comes in making up the titles.

Parsnip peelings

Twists and turns

Courgette stems

Alien

Don't go there!

 

Orange peel

In flames.

Apple peelings to follow soon. They are a wonderful colour.

Ceramics now!

Well-sort of - I broke a plate. It smashed into some interesting shapes  on the kitchen floor.

And now it's my homage to Sydney Opera House

Not the Final Vegetable Sculptures -here are some more!

These three are made from dried baby carrots.

 

A silver emblem

A golden demon

   

And a Fleur de Lis which I've place outside on the shed door!

     

 I've also made some corn  patterns which are now on the garden gate,

but they probably wont last through the winter months.

Two sunbursts

and a shooting star.

 Final Bash at Vegetable Sculptures

This is the largest carrot construction and probably the most successful, in that it has real 3D form.

But I like these three because they have an animated quality.

The swede peelings made beautiful flowers.

And the parsnip peelings became a new species of gastropod!

 

 

More vegetation

New work with parsnip peelings!

Flowers or Mushrooms - I'm not sure? Perhaps I should just call it "Parsnip Peeling

They look more like mushrooms when they're upright though.

 

But this is definitely a baby dragon. And he's going up market! (see below) 

.

 "Mysterious silver dragon" Mmm.. not sure if I like him as much as his more natural companion.

 I'm starting on carrot peelings as well now.
But they aren't as dramatic.
 I'll have to peel a dozen to get something interesting.
