Finished Onion Piece

The red onion piece is done. I washed it out today. The onions were very slimy and smelly. You have to have a strong stomach for this type of work. It's about 24" x 24" and here's how it looks:



I love the fuschia and green areas. Here's a detail of that:



I had the onions under plastic, and I'm wondering if they'll mold better in the open air. Now I'm trying orange slices:



I'm going to leave half of them uncovered, and cover the other half with another piece of canvas. I have a feeling squirrels might take them before they start to mold, but we'll see. The ants have already discovered them.

I tried a banana like this, and ended up with perfectly dried banana slices. It didn't mold at all. So maybe they do need to be under plastic. I need to do more experimentation before I'll have a handle on how this works best.
