Needlepoint “layers” in background. Painted Fosshape carrot.
Inspired by a series of needlepoint root vegetables by Jennifer Riefenberg, I up- sized my carrot. The earth strata is a sampler of needlepoint stitches. The sky is a bargello pattern worked in silk. The carrot is made from Fosshape which was formed around pvc pipe, painted and embellished with threads. The carrot top was purchased.
