8/8/2005: Veggie jewelry
 

http://cellar.org/2005/dedecker1.jpg

Belgian artist (I think) Hilde De Decker heard a true story of a man who lost his wedding ring in a field and then found it later with a tomato grown around it. De Decker now recreates this by molding the metal around veggies as they grow. She has a bunch of different veggies on display at her site. They are often preserved in jars of some liquid... can't tell what.

well, i guess that is the adult version of those little candies we had as kids. i remember one was a ring with a great big sucker shaped like a diamond.

Puts a new spin on heirloom tomato. Of course, I think its cool.

Checked out the artist's site. There are a series of photos that you page through. I get the pictures on the left, purhaps examples of his work, but what's with the snapshots on the right? and who is this lovely thing? Maybe inspiration behind the art?

MOM! i just knew that sooner or later i would find my mom on the web...

Neither of 'em look very happy.

would you look happy if you had spent 40 years married to her?
would you if you were her and had spent 40 years with someone who insisted "store, shmore, i'll just grow you a new ring."?

the 3 keys to a successful fashion statement are:

accessorize, accsessorize and accessorize...

:lol2:

They would most certainly have a more blissful marriage if he would grow her a nice zucchini ring.
They both look pissed off at the whole universe.
Art?.......OK.

There seems to be a disproportionately large number of pictures of retarded people on that sight. :eyebrow:
The "we make money not art" site is fantastic.

The website is really strange, no explanation of the images. Here is another strange one that leaves the viewer wondering.

Oh, I spoke too soon, here she is again!!! :eek:

There is something inherently wrong with these people. They scare me to death and I ain't afraid of nuthin.

How do you have sex with a vegetable?

Get her out of the chair.

Sorry.........
