Not Such A Brilliant Idea ….

My idea for “preserving” a few dandelion clock seeds didn’t quite work, I wanted something magical ….. I don’t think I succeeded!bottled dandelion seedsThe little blighters were a devil to “pluck” with my eyebrow tweezers and then put into a small bottle (The Works 99p for 6), every time I breathed they went everywhere …
Dandelion ClockI added a little Hunkdory Diamond Sparkles for a little extra magic …. but it seemed to cling to the sides of the glass rather than to the seeds … so all in all,  a little disappointing …..
I have found some lovely things while Googling ……

And I haven’t entirely given up on the idea, but I think I need to be a little more delicate ….  and think less is more …. However breaking the rule immediatley ….. I think I might embellish the bottle a tiny little bit to make up for my first not so successful result …. so watch this space!!
