Description
Chillies.
I can't eat spicy food, and neither can most of my family. These were left by a departing lodger and I'm hoping some of the birds might like them Even my parrot isn't that keen !
Also, even if I did like them, I should be cautious. A friend who had competitions with his mates to see how hot they could take their chillies died of a cancer of the oesophagus, caused by too much spicy stuff going down it.

Love your postwork - outstanding design that would look great blown up really large on a gallery wall. I like spicy food (chipotle, jalapeno, habanero & the like), but not to the point where it's painful. As a matter of fact, I'm going to have some chipotle hot sauce on my eggs in a few minutes...
I love chillies but only a little bite in curry! Love the image!
Even digifiddled they look hot!!!
Love the different patterns you got on the chili peppers. Cool ...ummm, I mean hot digifiddle!
I cant eat spicy food either Andrea, but lovely pic
I don't mind spicy foods, although there are limits. And the older I get, the more I wonder ... why ... ??? What's the point of all that heat? I'd rather have layers of flavor, combining thyme and basil and tarragon, for example, and skip the hot stuff. People who pride themselves on being able to eat hot, hotter and hottest make me think they're just a LITTLE too competitive. LOL!
When I was young the sky was the limit. As I have grown older my tolerance for heat has diminished. Your superb post work seems to have revealed the heat within, almost as if you were using an infrared device.
While I like a little zip in my food, I tend to shy away from things that make me wince (well, except for Chinese Hot Mustard) these would probably make me swear off any spicy foods forever. your postwork makes them appear even more deadly than the originals
It makes a spicy fiddle, that's for certain; I stay away from large doses of superhot foods like this, but a tiny amount added to things is sometimes good.
Interesting chili work...and thanks for the warning.... Aloha
I dont like it hot, but I sure like this shot. The colors are just my taste, so the pepper wasnt a waste. ;-)
Amazing work Andrea. God bless.
Got some to grow next year .
Wow these do look quite hot and spicy ! I can't do these anymore, even had to cut back on black pepper ! Super photo and postwork Andrea.
When this went up, I saw it sans comments. Now I see the comments, and you got a lot of responses to hot food! Well...hot spices were used as preservatives in very hot countries, so it's not all about getting the taste. But also, there's a thrill to tasting that explosion in the mouth, even though I can't take too much of it either. But what you've done to these is bring out the infra-red rays right on the surface. In Full (3 click) View, this is a symphony of ceramic and even vivid fabric design. I just love the colonies and isobars and the bright white sections, and the yellows, and all that saturated red, next to the darker brown reds. This is how hot peppers would look if they were photographed with lenses equipped to capture non-visible light: Ie, a capture of all the "other" rays of energy contained in the plants. As you have it, it's an array of vivid crinkly sculptures, all laid out after a long day of work, with deep green colonies on the right to balance out all that red. Terrific. This is pure Andrea art, and I love it!
