If you know what this actually is, please let me know. I just like the way they look! |
As I was looking at it, I noticed that if you were to invert the shape...it looks a lot like a tutu. What can I say? I just have ballerinas on the brain. I do have two daughters and my house has been swathed in pink crinoline for a while!
It took me a bit of rummaging through cupboards and the fridge before I found the perfect head: a radish!
I strung her up so she will spin -- my daughters will have fun with her in the morning.
Love it! Seeing it spin really makes it work, so I appreciate the video.
ReplyDeleteAlso, quick google search says that might be a water lotus seed pod...
Heidi, the seedpod is from a lotus. You can see some at Lewis Ginter. I don't remember just when they bloom, though.
ReplyDeleteamazin'!
ReplyDeleteand the flattish delight with the holes is the ovary of a lotus flower, found among lily pads such as we used to have in lake in Byrd Park before gentrification.
Did it rattle a bit? I have found them with the seeds inside and they make nice shakers.
So if she's rattling a bit, then she's making her own music, too?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that it was from a lotus, but how perfect that it is.
Your ballerina is so sweet (and radishy). Hope your girls enjoyed her immensely.
