I loved that you and Mrs Brown were waving in the reflection 👋
I really must try to turn a sphere as its something on my bucket list.🤨
You never give up and deserve a pat on the back for that. 👍
Brilliant video 😀
Thanks for entertaining me again 😀
YES! Was wondering who was going to notice first!
Thanks Wendy.
@@peterbrownwastaken oh pinned 😱😱😱
I’m honoured 😀😀😀
Thank you so much 😊

Hi Peter. I’ve made a bunch of dandelion spheres and the thing that kept the seeds intact was ordinary hairspray. As for preventing the lopsidedness, I shoved a toothpick into the tubelike stem to stiffen it, and then used a clothespin to hold it in place as it rested across the opening of the sphere mold (I don’t have fancy-shmancy turning equipment like you do). Of course, I worked with standard-sized dandelions and smaller spheres, so you may have needed to use thicker toothpicks/wooden rods to stiffen the stem of a giant dandelion.
Really good info! Where did you get your sphere mold? I’ve been looking for a good one to do exactly the type of project you described!
Great tip, thank you!!
Bamboo skewers would probably work wonders!
This video shows a great way to make a sphere mold.

I remember a magazine craft article Where they used spray paint to color the puffs and hold the seeds in place. Then they made a dried flower arrangement of them. I tried it using my airbrush and pearl lacquer and it worked fine.
It’s a western salsify. I’ve seen them a few times here in Ontario. They look like fancy dandelions
we call them Milk Weed in BC.
@@Born_Stellar in AB too.
@@Born_Stellar Oh, really? That's interesting, here in the Midwest what we call milkweed seeds out in pods that then split and send out all kinds of super fluffy stuff. We always have some planted around the house cuz it's the only thing monarch butterflies will lay their eggs on, since it's the only thing the caterpillars eat!
In the UK they are called Tragopogon pratensis. Beautiful result
Believe it is also referred to as Goats Beard in some places as well.
fun fact: ive heard that people who identify plants in the field may sometimes use the term "DYC", or "damned yellow composite", to refer to composite flowers (family Asteraceae) that are difficult to distinguish. there are a LOT of dandelion lookalikes!
I also watch Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't.
@@0xDEADBEEF666 hadnt heard of it before but thanks for the rec! 😄im just a birdwatcher who read about DYC when i was telling my friends about the birdwatching equivalent, LBJ ("little brown job")
It looks like a Western Salsify.
"If there's failure, it won't be anyone's fault but mine" is not a sentence I've ever said. Anyway, turned out great!
He's just making sure we don't try blame the resin or manufacturer. It's a nice way of saying he's using the product in a way it wasn't intended so don't expect perfection.
me either. LOL
I prefer when I have someone else to blame but all these mistakes were mine... :)
Its a poor craftsman that blames his tools
My thought process when I build furniture and by husband asks why I won’t let him help lol
I’ve been watching your resin craft videos for years with curiosity and appreciation for how honest you are about errors in the process.
I’m now a full time resin/silicone caster for a keycap company and I love it so much.
I don’t know if I would’ve gotten to where I am without you activating that curious urge to create, and fail, and create again within me. Resin is a fickle tool, but you make me push for the impossible! Thank you. :)
That’s fantastic. Sounds like you’re doing what you love. Congrats!
Whenever I start thinking "I wonder what Peter Brown is up to", you always get a video out like the next day. 😄 looks awesome!
anyone else now desperate for a "neighbor war" saga where Mr./Mrs. Brown start stealing all the stuff from the garden to dip and the neighbor starts setting up elaborate "mazes, traps, etc" and we get to hear the adventures that they had to go on in order to get us our "dip it fix"
I'm imagining that ending with the neighbour being gifted assorted stuff from the garden in resin spheres…
the ending would probably be a lawsuit so... no... that would be terrible...
@@zfrenks4383 hence the "quotation marks" it's a "story" just a bit of imaginative "fun" You do know what "fun" is right?
Kinda like the “Hello Neighbour” game, but you need to take what you steal back after you’re done with it.
After the first pod... dispersal?... I would have been panicking and trying to figure out if a couple drops of a thin CA at the base would hold them in place. Glad the neighbors didn't care/catch on to the seed absconding. Turned out great!
If I was the neighbour, quite frankly I'd be pissed.
They are trespassing and stealing.
Even if they think it's a weed, it isn't their property.
Whatever happened to knocking, explaining, and saying please and thank you?
He should give them the final product.

There’s something very Christmas about this one! Even before you mentioned the ornament feel, there was so much wonder that I thought to myself, this feels like Christmas morning.
Oh wow. I just found some of these while in richmond, VA last weekend. I looked it up and it called western salsify, or great dandelion. I had never seen one before and was quite impressed. I gathered some seeds and will see if it will grow in SC, where I live. Really cool flora
wester salsify sounds like what you do with vegies peppers and cheese before putting chips in it.
Double check and make sure you're not introducing an invasive species into your ecosystem for growing it yourself.
You brought a giant dandelion down to SC as if we didn't have enough problems with dandelions already. Lol
Wonder if you can get those in the UK, Wikipedia only says eastern and central Europe and marks its US presence up to being introduced.
I hope you’ve checked to see if Salsify is safe to plant in SC. Will it choke out something else? Be responsible.
I watch more TH-cam videos than I would like to admit, but this one was absolutely amazing and fun to watch. What wonderful artisanship!
It’s great how you explain what you do and why you do it. You must be a great Dad.
That flower is called salsify! They're a great wildflower I see all the time in fields here in Michigan.
Another hit out of the ball park. Well done!
You encourage and inspire me to work with my hands more!! Thanks!
Love this - I would never tire of looking at it.
I would love to see a video exploring how you use your different resins for different applications
This is wild looking man you have made the best bocce ball for using in the yard that's awesome work and for all the years I've been watching I never get tired of how satisfying it is to see the shavings just streaming up like a never ending confetti cannon
Loved every bit of this vid. Resin is so amazing, so versatile. Thanks for sharing
Wow, did you find this growing near a nuclear power plant?😁 Anyhow, it looks amazing.
Do they grow near nuclear reactors ?
Hey Fabian! Good to see your avatar pop up!
Certainly looks like a Simpsons/Springfield plant.
Hope all is well
If I remember correctly, those are not actually dandelions but some other plant
Probably TGRI disposal site.
Wonder how many will get that reference.
I'm pretty sure it's actually from a thistle. Not 100%, but pretty sure.
trial and error the ol third times a charm...turned out so cool...nice job.
Staying home from work sick, this is a fantastic thing to watch while I wait for the Nyquil to knock me out. Beautiful, brilliant work as ever Mr Brown
It's a salsify
Oh wow, you're right. His plant looks exactly like that. Thanks!
I'm not surprised that a little bit of violet makes it look clearer. When I use white ink for screen printing, I sometimes add just a tiny touch of blue and it looks so much better. Cooling a color down tricks the eye really well.
This trick is also why you'll see a lot of aquariums with blue backgrounds, it's hard to keep water perfectly clear when their are loving things in it so if you put a blue background on it you can trick the eye into thinking it's clearer than it is
Peter, youre looking REALLLY 'The Witcher'-y these days and i dont think we talk about it enough. 11/10
Awsome project. Much love and God bless.
I wonder if you could cast bowling balls. It's probably a totally different material they use, and most opaque balls I think are ceramic, but clear/misty bowling balls do exist and I think it would be pretty cool to make one. Not just how you want it with maybe some plant in the middle, but also with your unique finger sizes
It came out awesome Peter. Great job!
this might be one of my favourites. I loved this. thank you for sharing ^^
We have salsify everywhere here in Bulgaria, was only talking to hubby about casting one this afternoon so perfect timing with video !!
Excellent results as always😁
This is plant known as Goat's Beard (its botanical name as a Tragopogon) and it's a plant in the Sunflower family. Cool project!
Oh, I was wondering when there will be a full dandelion sphere! Nice!
Awesome stuff Peter! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
"Danger: Awesome in Progress" 🤣 LOVE THAT!1
Amazing videos as always! It’s always a treat when I see you’ve posted. I rewatch your videos a lot. Please keep doing what you’re doing! It’s so fun to see the creative things you come up with :)
I never seen someone so determined putting a dandelion in a resin.
Of everything you've made, all of which are amazing.. this is my favorite. I don't know what it is about it, but something is just absolutely perfect about this weird not-a-dandelion.
If you're up for doing more along these lines except with other species/different colour, I'd be super curious how an Allium or Hoya influorescence would take to this process.
You can spritz the seeds with hairspray to help hold them in place.
Oh, also.
Could you bandsaw the "drifted" one and then recast around it to center the "dandelion" and then turn it once you've added in the extra material or would the two different resin applications separate/split or have colour differences etc?
Right after you said that you hoped your neighbor didn't see this video and realize you were stealing his flowers, I thought it would be kind of cool if they showed up with a pod in a box and was like...trade? Cause that is beautiful.
This is absolutely beautiful! Excellent work.
I believe it is a giant allium seed head! Very cool!
Yellow Salsify. Your neighbor won't miss it, I promise! I made the mistake of letting one go to seed last year and I spent a good hour pulling them out of my yard last week because they spread as bad as dandelions. whoops. I did leave a couple in my flower garden so that I can clip them and drop them into resin this year but I don't have a lathe so I'm not going to have any gorgeous spheres like that. I'll hopefully have something cool though
Interesting enough, atomic shrimp just did a wild foraging video where he pointed out these. Goats beard is their name
Western Salsify!! It's also known as Goat's Beard. You can eat every part of the plant!! You can even use it to make tea in it's full adult form! Such an awesome plant!
Oh wow. That sounds pretty useful!
I always spray paint them bright colors and wife puts them in flower arrangements. Paint them and let dry then pick them and pretty strong
Really enjoy and look forward to your videos
I've shoved a bamboo skewer inside the stem to stop it moving and gently drip thin CA down the stem so it wicks onto the seed head gluing the seed pods so they don't come off during set up.
You could possibly make a coaster thing with the first batch with those seeds
Fun fact: Kids in germany call these "Pusteblume", which translated to english would be "blow flower", because if you blow on it, the seeds fly away.
I can't hold my breath that long.
You could make one for your neighbor as a thank you ❤️. It’s really awesome
Looks like an exploding star 😉👀
I know a bunch of folks who'd go nuts over dandelion spheres. Really!
I would like to see tungsten and copper powder made into a bowl or pen. I imagine you could do a lot with it much like those old sand in bottle art projects from back in elementary school. Some designs could be placed in with some chopsticks, by pushing between layers or mixing them separately and putting them together in a way to pattern them.
Second time requested.
Now you should make one for the neighbor.✌
Looks amazing! Can't even see the violet colour that was placed.
When the first flower was destroyed, at first I was worried that it was some unique freak of nature plant and that the whole project was lost.
That thumbnail looks like the crystal tear I have in my flask of wonderous physik.
looks like a star with magnetic lines
Your voice is back!
I like that, I don't often comment but that's cool
I would try some clearcoat or fixative even. To add strength so it doesn't fall apart
That looks awesome and interesting video
Can i breathe now? You never said I could breathe again!! Im suffocating here hahahaha
So very cool thank you for sharing
You should look into the resin that the channel the positive couple uses. I've seen him pour the resin over twenty inches deep before and it come out perfect.
you should do another one and give it to him as a gift.
Maybe a very light spray from a distance with a hair spray might keep things in place before casting ..? only a thought .. lol
Looks like a type of thistle, in case you were still wondering what plant it is. But it could still be a dandelion, despite its massive size. They can get that big for sure!
Erica, no they do not. Dandelions will never grow that large. For sure you are a wishful thinker. For sure. But you will not believe me so look closely at the shape of the seeds, they are different.
I’d be interested to know what that is as well! I’ve grown dandelions for tea the past two years and the largest ones are still nowhere near that!
Would love to see jewelry from the one that drifted apart.
Salsify! They’re like dandelions. And edible like dandelion! Looks so cool. It looked like an eye iris in the one light!
If you put ice in the pressure pot, or put the pressure pot in ice, the cold should keep the resin from overheating. it will also take longer to cure.
Could you use the first one as a base? I think that would look kind of cool
Hey Peter, I am again requesting the dip-it with dyed resin shaving. Would be cool to see as the clear ones disappear in the resin.
Stunning
Did you manage to seal the end where the stem is? I would be worried about it starting to decompose through there
That’s so much resin holy crap 😂
I think the next project should be an absurdly large shift knob for a car or truck.
Should built a base for it with a programmable light (like you show near the end) and gift it to your neighbour.
I wonder if you could somehow make a resin spray (would need a rather runny resin and a spray bottle for paint I guess, something thicker than water). Cause I think that would be the best thing for objects like this (feather, fur, dandelions, etc.). Make then rigid in place with minimal aggression, or at least make it... rigider? rigider? Make it more rigid; and less fragile, mobile and flexible.
Now you need to try the Rupert's drop in resin experiment that smarter everyday did.
Salsify makes a wonderful dandelion wine, but you have to catch it before the flowering body appears
I thought were you supposed to spray/lightly dust dandelions with hairspray prior to dunking them in resin?
Hmm, I wonder how well Skin would work as/in a Micarata project?
Are you able to make a bowling ball filled with golf balls? Drill the finger holes. Then use it in a bowling alley.
Mr Brown : everyone hold your breath
Me holding my breath like it going to do something.
It's fantastic!
"SO, IT WAS YOU! It was you all along!"
The neighbor, just before the revenge arch, probably.

Amazing!👍
With the changing multi-coloured light it makes me think of some kind of star trek prop for a photonic artificial brain.
How bad does resin smell while on the lathe? I know wood smells pretty foul if you go too deep to fast with the tool.
That's a Western goat’s beard also known as Western Salsify, Yellow Goatsbeard or Wild Oyster Plant. They belong to the Asteraceae family like daisies and sunflowers.
That's no Moon....
It's a Life Star!!!!!
Maybe make one for your neighbour too!
the two most common dandelion look alikes have solid stems. that very well be a dandelion
Were there any canisters of green ooze near it? Perhaps also any anthropomorphic turtles with ninja training?
