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


Parsnip peelings



Twists and turns

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.

Too cold out there!

With the weather getting rather bleak I've retreated indoors to play with various bits of vegetation found indoors.
                   

   These three are made from pumpkin seeds and coloured with food dye

This delicate construction is made from dried swede peelings! I simply glued them together.The subtle shapes and tones are all their own work!






These fig leaves have turned the most sinister colour. 
I have about 20 of them, coated with PVA.
 Not sure where I'm going with these.

The beginning of winter

This  is an update on my previous post about  structures in the garden over winter.
Alas one of my autumn constructions has already collapsed.
 But this wooden spider and web should survive the winter It's made from branches  of the old cotoneaster that I'm pruning.
Likewise this form.

But this form is made from the case for a bottle of Glenfiddich! Just right for facing the winter ahead.


 This small monster is made from a combination of dahlia flowers and cardboard boxes. I'm not sure how long he will survive.
