This artwork is based on small creepy crawlers call Daisys that likes to hide and attach themselves to different types of roots and flowers. I like the idea of that particular plant, it’s yellow and you can find in certain garden area.
It is used either as a table ware decorations or too accessories to wear as hair pieces. Different colour ranges have different scents.
