The earlier ones were on short stubby stems, but later in the season I found these very long glossy beauties. They had closed heads when I brought them inside for drying, but they soon opened up to make the familiar globe of fuzz. I cut all the heads off and composted them to avoid freefloating dandelion seeds in the house. After these stems dry, I&#8217;ll try twisting them into cordage. The woven pieces Alice makes out of cordage are quite remarkable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*From her website: &#8220;Artist based in West Yorkshire, UK, harnessing natural processes and working with found, gathered and grown materials.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2797.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2797.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2797-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2798.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2798.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2798-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2798-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2798-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_2798-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alice Fox* on Instagram got me interested in the stems of dandelions.
