That is, an impressive 2,000 unpuffed dandelions hanging as part of an installation by German artist Regine Ramseier.  Each was picked in the wild and transported via car on a specially designed pallet system to preserve them before hanging.  A document (though in German) of the process can be found here.  And the artist’s web page here.

…But close enough.

These were sculpted by Ray Villafane and they’re nothing short of amazing.  The level of detail and expressions are so freakin good, he’s not human.  Posting up my three favourites, all linking to many  more.  Oh and if you’ve not seen his giant sand sculpture of Dante’s Inferno, sweet jebus be sure to check it out too.
