Dandelion

I've always thought those little dandelion
seeds looked like parachutes!
So my drawing is the perfect entry for
Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesday with the
theme of travel....well, in a sort of
backward, original kind of way. ;)

  6. I love that you used this for travel, because travel these seeds do! You mentioned your road trip and seeing beautiful flowering trees. We really don't see that as much here in Wisconsin. We must be just a little too north. Another good reason to visit the kids near Chicago!

  9. Oh Betsy, you are so clever. What a great idea. Love how you did this too. ..how did you do it in fact? Love it. I love to also imagine that I am one of those seed pods blown and wonder/imagine where it will eventually end up? !

  17. Really creative! I also have a special place in my heart for dandelions... they say that is the flower of the military brat since the flower is so adaptable and used to moving around. Good inspiration!
