Textile Beetroot still life a death mask was madeCreated by textile artist Rachel Nettles, these nature inspired vegetable sculptures appear to have come directly from the potting shed. Her attention to detail is obvious each piece is thoughtfully considered, with many layers of stitching used to create both colour and texture. This weighted beet has a small ring on the back for wall hanging. Each piece is unique. Textile vegetable sculpture L: 87cm
