I don't know if there are any pictures of it, but you can contact Tomasz at to see if he has any more information.</div><div style="font-family: arial;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: arial;">Good luck, and I hope everything works out!<br /><br />Tom Reber</div>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-79875035316095969302009-07-29T16:00:00.001-07:002009-07-29T16:06:03.624-07:00the last few days...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrjPHMfJv1So2TGRLr4ILcWmzHFvhp7nBCj-cbxctO8mVtMFe5J5NhDAkBGOH9eWcxL_b5zZyuDjrhYu7xvSv66iv3n3fYuud9B7r0XhlsntFP7ZelNmeQVLlSXBbZViGPGHSWswi9Ljk/s1600-h/july28.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I wasn't really expecting it to look fabulous... and it didn't... it looked like a pink candied dandelion... not so much like a pink dandelion should.<br /><br />However, I put some dandelions in the toaster oven when they had closed up. I'm not quite sure what my motivation was to do this... exhaustion, perhaps? I guess I was sort of thinking about what happens when you put Peeps in the microwave... that maybe something cool and unexpected may happen to dandelions? Well, whatever, I was right. They didn't turn pink, but they did fluff up. About half of them opened up and puffed out and turned into a seed heads.<br /><br />So, I tried out candying one of the seed heads... not as easy as expected. It ended up all goopy and lumpy.<br /></span>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-88848691970268445562009-07-27T21:22:00.001-07:002009-07-27T21:24:18.136-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1U5P_GMCOI9UXYIIacPolI3dp6qv3UhykVjZQzdcfBtw4aTzhgWKT3Zof1Fzc7JAldl9n3ipP5c0t5wRrJdbho7v-pWoARCugx3rImSk0rWM-dMsCQm9AWP84jETta11Nzs5RkTwNCBM/s1600-h/IMG_9194.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1U5P_GMCOI9UXYIIacPolI3dp6qv3UhykVjZQzdcfBtw4aTzhgWKT3Zof1Fzc7JAldl9n3ipP5c0t5wRrJdbho7v-pWoARCugx3rImSk0rWM-dMsCQm9AWP84jETta11Nzs5RkTwNCBM/s320/IMG_9194.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363361867852766466" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Temple University... not up to date with the "weed" control</span>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-29671761076467064542009-07-26T12:15:00.001-07:002009-07-26T12:39:50.206-07:00The Wedding is Off<span style="font-family: arial;">I recently decided that I have somewhat of a school girl crush on a celebrity who shall go unnamed. And, for the past couple days I've been drawing my name and his in hearts and daydreaming about our wedding. Today, though, I found his blog... and, perhaps, I don't understand the whole self advertising business ("I'm this", "I'm that"). Pshh, you are a celebrity... you are most certainly NOT shy. If you were at one time, I think that if you are performing in front of thousands, you've gotten over it. Needless to say, after I found this blog... and his twitter... I'm out looking for a new future husband. He no longer makes the cut. But, the one thing that I found interesting about his blog were the 267 comments for every post that he had made ("U the best baby <3", "I love you!", blah blah).<br /><br />I began thinking about how this blog functions because we all know that I am not getting anywhere near 267 comments for each of my posts. And I know that I am not a celebrity and my base of supporters is probably significantly smaller than the the entire American public listening to the radio and watching television. I am updating those who are interested on a research project, not my way of life and style. But, in some sense, this project has become a way of life... checking on the baby dandelions everyday, hanging out on the studio researching dandelions instead of watching You Tube videos and making objects. I was also thinking that I have a very face-to-face relationship with many people that are followers of the project... that those who are interested in the project do more than just post a comment... that those who are interested are more real than, say, Candice in TX.<br /><br />Ian recently emailed me and told me that the blog is too convenient on it's own... which I agree with.... and I decided that is the nature of any blog. You get back exactly what you want.<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" ></span>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-65452499150067049612009-07-26T12:07:00.000-07:002009-07-26T12:14:37.063-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;">hi nicole,</span><div style="font-family: arial;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">i am attaching a picture of a dandelion i took for you whilst hiking. this is way out out the very tip of the dingle peninsula in west</span><span style="font-family:arial;">ern ireland. sometimes i would go miles and not see any, then other times, as in t</span><span style="font-family:arial;">he case, there would be many amongst the other wildflowers. - the picture </span><wbr style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">looks lovely, but think gale </span><wbr style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">force winds and cold </span><wbr style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">temperatures - not so warm as </span><wbr style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">it looks.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">oh yeh, and i meant to say, in the picture i sent, see how the other wildflowers are all purple hues, the pink dandelion would fit right in, the yellow was so bright and stark when i would come across it on these rough headlands.</span><div style="font-family: arial;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: arial;">cheers,<br />i<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoyut5Dql-FJJkaCJqyfGkmfWShOu_WvuxMlN3OvHXglk999c4z9rfd6r6wWL2p5hfuC4GA_q0DOyOxuDHM3ylcX7eVQQJ7gXfx7O7ZxprKvPyCeG20K-iY5qbYmIUL-m8kFHJpI95SNg/s1600-h/-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoyut5Dql-FJJkaCJqyfGkmfWShOu_WvuxMlN3OvHXglk999c4z9rfd6r6wWL2p5hfuC4GA_q0DOyOxuDHM3ylcX7eVQQJ7gXfx7O7ZxprKvPyCeG20K-iY5qbYmIUL-m8kFHJpI95SNg/s320/-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362849231624703170" border="0" /></a></div>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-18987862806077489022009-07-25T07:11:00.001-07:002009-07-25T07:37:31.222-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;">I have a friend visiting me this weekend. She's living in New York City this summer but from California. We know each other from way back when... when we were seven and both still lived on the outskirts of San Francisco.<br /><br />I've been thinking a lot lately about the people that come in and out of life... it seems as though, at least lately, relationships and friendships continue to fluctuate. One minute one person is somewhere, and then next minute they are somewhere else, and all the meanwhile I'm over here and trying to get over there.... and then sometimes we just happen to meet in the middle... sometimes we stay for a long while, or a little while.<br /><br />And really though the same thing could be said about thinking/ figuring things out... sometimes everything clicks and we meet in the middle and then, everything works.<br /><br />The dandelions at the Crane are growing much bigger. One of them is over 9 inches with broad wide leaves and it's growing a thick maroon base. Another update: the carnations in the studio are still alive... and not droopy at all... hooray Super Fresh on Columbus Blvd.<br /><br /><br /></span>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-72883996281066606202009-07-24T10:32:00.000-07:002009-07-24T10:36:05.066-07:00Philadelphia Inquirer<span style="font-family:arial;">There is a wonderful article in the Inquirer today about the project on pages E1 and E6.

If some seeds remain, then your lover has reservations about the relationship. If a lot of the seeds still remain on the globe, then you are not loved at all, or very little."<br /><br />I was always under the impression that blowing the seeds off a dandelion were like blowing the candles out on a birthday cake. If you blow them all out, your wish comes true. Similarly, if you close your eyes and make a wish, and blow all the seeds off then your wish comes true.<br /><br />I always wonder where all the seeds end up the same way I wonder where balloons go when they are let go. I know that the whole "wind dispersal" seed method is part of what makes dandelions capable of sowing their seeds so easily... the seeds just probably end up everywhere, and then end up turning into a dandelion.<br /><br />And, more things that I stumbled into:<br /><br /><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=0AMNAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA2-PA30&lpg=RA2-PA30&dq=prose+dandelion&source=bl&ots=kXUzqP7HO0&sig=XJEvQMR1gaO0T0El-V2dKLsHYTg&hl=en&ei=YbpoSoGGIaKqtgebzr2_Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7">To the Dandelion</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.library.wisc.edu/etext/jonas/Fifill/Fifill.html">The Dandelion and the Bee</a><br /></span></span>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-54622055720881152122009-07-23T12:05:00.000-07:002009-07-23T12:06:04.982-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHXIgJX129PLLf546vhE_l25cewVBWE3ETHsVBUOfSrLetggBMaKIEqfaWKzaC0JS-1t2fPheFqehxOHis9fXwT6BHsCEIZfkYY5_Yw0xy9HjVAiBqs6omMYx_ivCzb7BnoX_BPBQh2co/s1600-h/IMG_9040.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHXIgJX129PLLf546vhE_l25cewVBWE3ETHsVBUOfSrLetggBMaKIEqfaWKzaC0JS-1t2fPheFqehxOHis9fXwT6BHsCEIZfkYY5_Yw0xy9HjVAiBqs6omMYx_ivCzb7BnoX_BPBQh2co/s320/IMG_9040.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361733912024904370" border="0" /></a>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-49864240728985044812009-07-22T14:51:00.000-07:002009-07-22T11:59:14.638-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;">Today I went out running on the same route as yesterday. Today I made a point to make sure that I counted the floweing dandelions on my left, so that when I turned around I did not count the same one twice. And, I also made sure that my eyes didn't leave the ground (although, my old track coaches would have killed me if they saw it). I counted a total of 84 flowers!

My mom has been telling me that there are not any dandelions around the house... and, I'm afraid that she's mistaken. There were so many! I counted 19 flowers on my run before I lost count... on my way back I couldn't remember which ones I had already counted. I saw a lot of them too that weren't blossoming. My brother tells me that I probably have a knack/ an eye for finding them now.... he's probably right.<br /><br />I was right to think that coming back here would be a good thing for me. I went over to the Clarke's house tonight and got a good deal of encouragement and a few laughs. They suggested beets... which I will try. They also suggested strawberries and raspberries which were on my list of things to try as well. I'm also going to try to candy them with pink sugar instead of white... Mrs. Clarke was candying violets and they were just gorgeous. She has more patience than I do for those things. We talked a good deal about Martha Stewart.<br /></span>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-13065859994042028542009-07-20T22:27:00.000-07:002009-07-20T19:41:25.946-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXW5Fmshppg_Xsy1k32LYmfLd8bRsFxDYm4t2Ypf_cO0NvIjWX5Vrc9R6cBYb1eCEGGTle-XgLd5VMOwkfW8bOzT6sdxY9KNR4xgtHal9dKpRoa5HsS9crVZALqB8YpKLFLfMN7E8Ln0c/s1600-h/IMG_9017.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXW5Fmshppg_Xsy1k32LYmfLd8bRsFxDYm4t2Ypf_cO0NvIjWX5Vrc9R6cBYb1eCEGGTle-XgLd5VMOwkfW8bOzT6sdxY9KNR4xgtHal9dKpRoa5HsS9crVZALqB8YpKLFLfMN7E8Ln0c/s320/IMG_9017.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360734415398571762" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I am back at the drawing board, but with a glimmer of hope in the form of red food dye. Tomorrow I am heading to my parents house for about 36 hours which, should, shed some light onto a few things. I'll be sure to see the Clarkes and a few other close family friends who have been following the project closely... some fresh opinions/ fresh sets of eyes... if anything, a little more greenery around me could definitely do me some good.<br /><br />On Saturday my good friend, Holly, and I went and picked dandelions all morning. She and I used to go for runs near where I have been picking and we had a really good time wandering our old stomping ground... well, at least I did. We (after a little of my convincing) stopped for ice cream on our way back into the city. There are some things that never change, but always make me smile. When we eat ice cream, somehow, we almost always finish eating at the same time.<br /><br />There's something satisfying about those little "ah-ha" moments where clarity is restored and things sort of make sense again, like eating ice cream with a close friend. Tomorrow= clear head... new thought process... I have eleven days and a lot of sorting, thinking, and rearranging to do.<br /></span>Nicole Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345794247165658804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771497483636013826.post-75763882933654252642009-07-20T19:12:00.000-07:002009-07-20T19:26:38.211-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN3vFUNolzruHhU42BwsQtEoJ3ORW4zsh78ATj1MXVmiv8Z7XL2O8qABRxESiLcUkyVZEjbIL31huRazr6zRiOKPEwNCBUtZBzvasdTuiSeoV1aYNcl92R6w7eNVj9VFpPEpODLQEKi4w/s1600-h/IMG_9025.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN3vFUNolzruHhU42BwsQtEoJ3ORW4zsh78ATj1MXVmiv8Z7XL2O8qABRxESiLcUkyVZEjbIL31huRazr6zRiOKPEwNCBUtZBzvasdTuiSeoV1aYNcl92R6w7eNVj9VFpPEpODLQEKi4w/s320/IMG_9025.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360733760160332274" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I was asked recently which variation of pink I'm aiming for... this is, more or less, what I'm looking for.
