Entweder selber machen, oder für $80 eine der schon fertigen Kugeln kaufen.

The dandelion bloom, with parachute-like seeds, that are about to disperse, was captured in a crystal clear dandelion paperweight. The glass-like half globe, allows the dandelion seed head to be viewed from all sides. Each dandelion seed puff, also known as a dandelion clock, is hand-picked. Due to the nature of the product, each paperweight is unique, with no two being identical, making it a very special gift.

Pusteblumenlicht

Superschöne, kleine Leuchte, die wie eine Pusteblume aussieht. Leider mit Batterie und nicht ganz billig, dafür mit LED-Licht und echten Pusteblumensamen.

The fragile and luminous Dandelight is a delightful little object that reminds us of childhood optimism and early summer days. Expressing the utopian vision of its designers, the Dandelight marries nature and technology in the most poetic way possible. The design starts with a real dandelion, whose downy seeds have been painstakingly plucked then attached, one by one, to an LED, which connects to a battery via a slender copper stem. The final result is a light-emitting flower that captures one of the most beautiful spring moments in an eternal glow.

Eigentlich ist klar, dass sich die Samen vom Löwenzahn an ihren kleinen Schirmchen durch den Wind tragen lassen, aber man sieht es selten so wie hier.
