i’m jealous of regine ramseier
Sigh… but not a huge sigh, otherwise this stunningly delicate installation by Swiss artist Regine Ramseier might come floating down around us! Ok, well, maybe not. If she managed to get two thousand dandelion blowies {yes, I call them “blowies”} from a grassy meadow to this little white room, our sighs of astonishment shouldn’t damage them in any way. How did she do it? Well, have a look at the images below for a blow-by-blow {pun totally intended} of their journey:
Step One: pick 2000 blowies from a beautiful meadow. Step Two: spray blowies with a light adhesive. Step Three: hang them upside down in your car. Step four: place them in a custom made, hole-punched blowie palette. Step Five: hang a gorgeous installation for ArToll Summer Lab 2011… and exhale. Carefully.

Oh my god! This is amazing!!!! I love it!!! I was obsessed with dandelions for a bit last year… this is the best dandelion thing I have seen.
Other than dandelion beer, this is the best thing to happen to this plant.
isn’t it insane!! maybe you should drink a dandelion beer while sitting under this installation… now that would be somethin’ ; )

Yes–this is wonderful. Thanks for sharing this.
wow… such a poetic installation.
Oh my goodness! This installation is so breathtaking. Definitely having a “damn I wish I thought of that” moment right now.
P.S. alexx, you need to try some dandelion jam. It’s fairly easy to make and tastes pretty awesome too.
Just stunning.
I love your blog, having found you via Pinterest pins.
I know exactly the feeling you describe in your header!!
Thanks so much for the inspiration.
thanks suze! : )
This is just incredible. A simple idea with a breathtaking effect.

Totally incredible! WOW!
If you started with “he loves me, he loves me not” what would the answer turn out to be?
ha! it better end up on “he loves me” after all that work! ; )
My grandmother and I used to gather these on the farm, in addition to the very large ones, and use Aqua Net hair spray to keep them intact. After, we would use different colors of spray paint to give them color. She was such a creative person. This is just one of the many fond memories I have of her. She brought out the best in me inspiring me to be the artistic person that I am today. Love your work!!!
That’s amazing, and sounds so beautiful! Thanks so much David : )
I am speechless. Wow. May I share this on my blog? I don’t know how to do it, but I will learn. If you only knew what a dandelion means to me…. I wrote about it on our blog)… your work was nothing other than a dream come true for us;
of course! please write about them… they’re too amazing not to share with everyone!! : )
Gasp and SWOON! Found this via Pinterest and am blown away by this. It’s breathtakingly beautiful!

I was looking at this and muttered something… then scrolled down to see that the first comment is exactly what I muttered. Oh my god! this is amazing!!!
Wow! Gorgeous!
Did anyone ever mention to you the same work by the artist Michel François, first produced in Belgium in 2009 ?
You can read the curator’s comments and see pictures here :

[...] All the flowers were hand-picked by the artist, then sprayed separately with an adhesive. All the dandelions were then installed into a special palette and transported to the installation room, where the artist hung the flowers down the ceiling one by one.

It’s great to know that Regine’s work is appreciated elswhere.
Just a small correction. She is Swiss, not German.
Betty Biederman, the work is similar, but I think what each of the two works of art expresses is competely different!
oh no! thanks for the correction! made! : )
