The Dandelion plant badge.

[Arlen]

Well, I have been ruminating for some time on a way to make a Dandelion since I heartily agree with the idea of using it as an Xmarks plant badge.

When I was buying some lovely new wooly jumpers (Sweaters) from the Marie Curie cancer care store I noticed they were selling their Daffodil pins.

I bought two and headed home with an idea forming.

I took the fabric from both of them and cut it to form circles. Then I cut them to resemble dandelion petals and layered all four of them on to one pin.
After that I removed the badge pin and replaced it with a rare earth magnet.
Here are a few pictures of it taken tonight.
(I am working on making some leaves to go with it.)

I like Dandelions. That's a good X-badge. Good luck.

Golden coin strewn 'cross a sea of green,
posies for children a curse for the gardner!

Golden crowns held high defient an' proud
resolute in each onslaught
to slay and and dominate!

Aye stand proud
taking root in every crevice 'n crag
spread far by the winds of fate.
Showin' the colors of clan for all to see.
Thriving! Undaunted, Triumphant!

Bad poetry is bad poetry but there it is.
The Dandilion gets my vote for the X-Marks clan badge.
Dandilion wine anyone?

Looking fine, Arlen. Now Google "magnetic field" in the same search as "brain function".
