2000 Dandelions by Regina RamseierAnyone who has ever picked up a dandelion knows how hard it is to keep the fluffy pieces from flying away, which is what makes <a href="http://www.regineramseier.ch/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73&Itemid=79">Regine Raseier's</a> breathtaking art exhibit so impressive. The artist gently plucked <b>2,000 dandelions</b> from a nearby meadow and then sprayed a small amount of adhesive on each one to keep them intact. The dandelions were then carefully loaded en masse onto a special crate and transported to a small white room in the <a href="http://www.artoll.de/">ArToll gallery</a> in Germany.1
