This is a sculptured vessel based somewhat loosely on a bladder campion flower. The dandelions on the cyanotype pattern are a symbol of resilience and community. I am struggling with a name for this piece- any ideas?

Cyanotype, acrylic, and embroidery on canvas

Dandelions- beautiful flowers that are good for us, are treated as the enemy by those who like their gardens sterile. Dandelions don’t give up though, they bloom through the cracks.

Thyme Flowers
Cyanotype on Arches Aqarelle HP

The bees love these tiny purple flowers and buzz merrily around my thyme patch all day long. Like, all the thyme... haha.

Rosemary Flowers
Cyanotype on Bockingford paper.

I just can't get over the beauty of these little tiny flowers. They just look like tiny squidges of purple to my naked eye, but zoomed in close they're like some rare and delicate orchid! 😻

Dandelion Flower
Cyanotype on Arches Aquarelle, A4

Look how delicate these petals are! Also it's so weird seeing a dandelion be blue and white instead of bright yellow.
