Yesterday, I took a few pictures of dandelions, before my DH mowed the lawn. (We have lots of dandelions in our garden...) Then I played with PSP, and tried some filters and effects on the pictures.
The common name is "pissenlit" now. "Dent-de-lion" is almost not used anymore, but that's where your "dandelion" comes from. And yes, it means "lion's tooth" because of the leaves shape I think.
PSP is "Paint Shop Pro", a photo editing program. I really wonder how you manage to have no dandelion in your garden! (I would like to know how you do that, actually) :-)

Wow, these are stunning. I wonder if there'd be a way to create these shapes and lines with some sort of planned scrunch fabric dyeing or shibori.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that these looked like your hand dyed fabric too. Definitely "Françoise" colors ;-)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Francoise, is that the french word for dandelion? Dent de lion (lion's teeth, right?)

I seem to be at a disadvantage here - I don't know what PSP is and we don't have any dandelions in our garden!
