One dark and stormy Halloween night, these test tubes escaped from a laboratory. Now they live and breed in the wild, and can be found in any semi-decent botanical encyclopedia -- under the heading Test Tubers.

[Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles].

They remember their ancient roots, and continue traditions such as sitting in straight rows. They also come out at Halloween to bubble around a jolly Bunsen burner, celebrating the day they found their freedom.

Applications used: Context Free Art and Photoshop Elements 2. I employed a clear layer style by Shelby Kate Schmitz to help form the glass.

The tubers moved to Deviant Art in 2009, but have now decided to adopt Caedes as a second home. The only change I made was to soften the signature line.
