Dandelion seed heads

I’ve made a few of these for the ABC Art Trail.

They are amazingly head-turning – even though made from baking parchment, toothpicks and kebab sticks!

I’ll be running a workshop on how to make them at the popular Adult Crafts sessions at the Beeston Canalside Heritage Centre later in the year.

 

Dandelion heads

I love it when some very basic ingredients are converted into something beautiful with a bit of time and care. Reminds me of my cake making days!

I made these dandelion heads with a kebab stick, some toothpicks, a torn brown envelope, a polystyrene ball, a bit of brown paint, a white pencil and some baking parchment.  I am really pleased with the result.
