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 😊

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.
I feel like the fact that TotalBoat is willing to sponsor peter's work is one of the biggest reasons this was a success
the first few minutes of this video was 225 dollars whoopsied away
It’s commendable, given how often he “abuses” their resin products lol. They’re a good sport & it’s great to see.
Thank you for confirming my suspicions that resin is an expensive medium 😂 I'll stick to wool, but so cool to see what people do with the polymers they craft with!
I sincerely appreciate that you include the “failures” in the video as part of the learning process. It’s very impressive to make something so beautiful and also pass along such valuable lessons.
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.
ruclips.net/video/MMBHQt1fyNk/видео.html
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.
This is by far my favorite dip it. If you are in California, I'd put odds on that being a Western Salsify seed pod. *IF* it is a western salsify, you did your neighbor and the US a GIANT favor by taking several seed pods' worth of seeds out of this invasive species. Keep up the good ecological work. :) There are people who make metal dandelion seed pod sculptures, and if you combined your iron sphere project and this one, so that you had little spikes coming off the pods in those magnetized iron shavings, I'd honestly be willing to pay $$$ for a sculpture like that. They're beautiful! FWIW- I was having a REEEEALLLY crappy day and this video, combined with the waving in the reflection, really perked me up. Thank you for that!
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")
That is a Western salsify, or yellow goats beard seed ball! I love them because they look like giant dandelions. Great turnout even if there was some problem solving! I'd love to have one preserved on my desk.
Cool. I googled "giant dandelion" and saw that one as well as a couple other "giant dandelions" that grow in California. I didn't know which one it was. Lol. Thanks.
some articles say they are edible, and taste like Oysters but I wouldnt know?
Just watched an Atomic Shrimp video that agreed on this type of plant being a Goat's Beard. But plant identification is a wild skill.
I just wanted to say thank you. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety which basically stopped me from doing anything.
I binged your videos and finally decided to pick up resin again. It's been nearly a week and I'm feeling hope and excitement.
So thank you for being an inspiration.
I’m glad to be of help. I struggle with anxiety and depression as well. You’re doing well.
@@peterbrownwastaken I appreciate the reply. 🧡 It made my day!
Part of what I like about your videos is that you keep in the trial and error part of the progress. It makes it easier to get started. Something goes wrong, that's okay. That's just part of the process.
Also your humor and songs. Love those parts too.
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!
"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
That's beautiful! I think the purple dye definitely helped with the yellowing, I would try going with a brighter blue next time. Basically try to color match with tide fabric detergent, the blue they choose is already perfectly calibrated to counteract yellowing as much as possible. The flower looks like yellow goatsbeard, they're basically giant dandelions. Yellow when flowering, covered in white fluffy pappi (plural of pappus, the fluffy part of flowers like these,) when they go to seed.
I just want to take a minute to appreciate a RUclips project turning out better the creator had hoped. A rare turn of events and it doesn’t happen by accident. Very nice work!
Whenever I start thinking "I wonder what Peter Brown is up to", you always get a video out like the next day. 😄 looks awesome!
When I was a kid we had them in our road ditches every year, We would pick them and my mom would spray them with hair spray to keep them. We even used spray paint. It is a beautiful project.
This is amazing!!! Check out that clarity 😍 Beautiful work 👏👏
I'm super impressed by this product.
I really pushed the limit this time!
I appreciate how you present the whole process of your projects, helps us understand that sometimes you gotta fail multiple times to learn and create something excellent and fun :D
12:05 I saw you two waving in the reflection!!! 🤣💜🥳 I love it when a wild Mrs Brown appears in a video! She’s so daggum cool, y’all are *adorable* together! 💕
I was kind of hoping a few of them detached from the stem, and drifted away in the resin, just enough to create the illusion that someone is just starting to blow on it. 😍
*Mother Nature Drive* - *thru* : Do you want that supersized?
*Peter* : Yes
Edit: Also, It's Giant Salsify ;)
Whoa, that's super cool! Totally reminds me of a plasma ball! I love this!
Yes! I almost forgot about those!!
I was thinking it looked like something, but couldn't put my finger on exactly what. You're exactly right! Thanks.
@@Ali626AMM I'm here to help! 😁😁👍
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.
That looks like Salsify - it grows wild in places. The sphere turned out beautiful! It would be an awesome nightlight.
Where exactly do salsify dandelions grow? I’ve only seen them on Google Images.
@@kandacehead9544 In the rockies, where it's native afaik.
@@kandacehead9544 They're a Mediterranean plant that has naturalized in California - except the desert, and apparently the great basin. I lived in San Jose for a while :)
Spectacular would be an understatement. It's the sort of thing I could stare at for ages, especially with those color changing lights.
Been watching for a while. I don't know what it is about this project - maybe it's turning a sphere or maybe it's the clarity of the end result - but this has been one of of my favorites of your more recent videos. Could see myself buying this as a desk ornament if it were available for purchase. Great work, Peter!
I did this a few times and after a bunch of failures I dripped UV resin on the seeds with a syringe before putting it into the epoxy and it locked all the seeds in place so you can move it around. Worked like a charm!
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.
I watch more RUclips videos than I would like to admit, but this one was absolutely amazing and fun to watch. What wonderful artisanship!
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.

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.
looks very cool, i thin it's the seed head of a Salsify plant/veg what we call Morning Star in the Netherlands as it only flowers in the morning, well done for persevering
Wow, if you had it on a rotating base with the color changing lights, you could have an Independence Day ornament! Beautiful, beautiful piece of work, Peter, congratulations!
Ben watching for years and I'm glad you're still at it 😁
Awesome video! If you have fragile plants/weeds like that in the future, you could use hairspray or spray glue to stabilize them 💞
Peter, youre looking REALLLY 'The Witcher'-y these days and i dont think we talk about it enough. 11/10
I’ve been watching this channel for years! Still on of my favorites. ❤️

Oh man with the light going through the bottom it looks golden so pretty. Awesome work.
Amazed that it worked out… cool!
Looks like some variety of Alium. They are in the onion and garlic family. Some are grown as decorative plants and flowers. More varieties are grown as food. You did good, Peter, to make it all come together!
It’s great how you explain what you do and why you do it. You must be a great Dad.
You should take the first one that exploded and turn it into a light stand for the sphere.
What I mean is you should cut off the bottom and put a hollow in where the seeds are and mount some LED lights underneath. I think it would look really cool.
Hey Peter! I’ve got an idea for a dip it; you should slice up a lemon and then make coasters out of the slices! So when you stack them back up together, they form the lemon!! 🍋🍋
Wow love the light shining through it it is gorgeous.
Love this - I would never tire of looking at it.
Alot of work but wow its gorgeous.
Thanks for not giving up!!
Its truly beautiful ❤
That flower is called salsify! They're a great wildflower I see all the time in fields here in Michigan.
You encourage and inspire me to work with my hands more!! Thanks!
Looks amazing! Micromesh are always my favorite part!
Hey Peter, that is so awesome :D Dandelions have always been special for me. Now for a rose Bowling Ball inspired my Bill Murray's in Kingpin :D
When I get resin for a project I'm definitely going with total boat.
BTW, that off center one, surely you still have enough material to work with? Band saw to a rough circle closer to center around the pod and go from there, half the work on your centered one was interrupted cuts anyways, doesn't seem to me like the other one would be much different
I was thinking the same. And as a gift to the neighbor.
This is and always has been my comfy channel ❤
Great idea!
Exquisite results!
Best "dandelion" pour yet! 😄
Reminds me of Bill Murray Rose bowling ball from kingpin, except this a dandelion mini bowling ball. Awesome work 👍
Loved every bit of this vid. Resin is so amazing, so versatile. Thanks for sharing
This is really cool, and I literally held my breath when you were dunking the last one in the resin.
One of your most beautiful projects yet!
This is awesome! I always get excited when I see that you have posted a new video. This does not disappoint.
Great project. Thanks for showing us the pitfalls along the way.
All I can say is WOW! Great turn and I love seeing how you did that. Plum amazing!!
Love watching you create!
Awsome project. Much love and God bless.
this might be one of my favourites. I loved this. thank you for sharing ^^
Peter this came out great. I loved seeing all the trial and error.
one of your most beautiful pieces!
This is absolutely beautiful! Excellent work.
Wow ive been watching you for more than 7 years! ;-; dont make me feel old
God this is such a stressful video.
Thank you for going through this journey. I would have been too weak. Godspeed.
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 :)
It came out awesome Peter. Great job!
I really love how it looks with the lights! Magical. I hope your neighbour won't mind!
I would love to see a video exploring how you use your different resins for different applications
Another hit out of the ball park. Well done!
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
Crazy! I am impressed how you got it so round.
Something I learned from watching your channel if it fails the first time try again and keep trying till you get the results you want. Keep up the great work!! ✊👍
Absolutely beautiful 😍 And I do love a cheeky bit of criminal mischief when it's for a good reason 🤭 Maybe you could turn the others and leave them on the doorstep of the garden you 'liberated' them from as an anonymous sorry-and-thank-you gift 😆👍🏽
Beautifully done!
It's been a while since your last video, but this was definitely worth the wait. I love how it's a little wavy on the outside, but clearer and clearer as you look inward. It's beautiful.
That looks AMAZING!!!
After all these years, you're still the best resin art channel on RUclips. My wife and I are constantly impressed by your content. It's so good!
Have you considered resin-stabilizing half of a round watermelon and turning it into a bowl? (I've suggested this before. 😅)
▪️Thanks for commenting, make a note to Donald Tyler regarding BTC/ETH investment ideas..
Another fantastic video Sir, thank you.
This is totally rad!!!! So for the overheating issue have you thought about something like an ice or water bath inside the pressure pot? Maybe something to act as a heatsink to help take away the extra heat. And my second idea.... grow your own dandelion but use colored water and hopefully they grow like other flowers and will change the color of the water.
clicked for the beautiful lapis blue eyes
stayed for the amazing artwork you made
Thats first one would actually make a cool base
Fantastic! The mistakes and the finished product
That came out so cool!
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
trial and error the ol third times a charm...turned out so cool...nice job.
Awesome stuff Peter! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
WOW! Really fabulous. Great job!
Wow! That looks so cool!
my man eyeballing a sphere and it is marvelous. Love it!
The light under the sphere with the dark background looks like some fantasy eye. Would love to see this done but with a poppy
Really enjoy and look forward to your videos
That looks amazing. Great work.
If I was the neighbor, I'd want a good look at that sphere. I'd totally forgive the theft. The fluffs on the pods look like gold strands! So cool. Wish I could see it in person
Nature’s crazy but Peter adds a new beautiful level crazy thank you young sir🏴
Well done Mr Brown!
Thumbs up to the rest of the video. Looks great.
It looks really cool with the lights at the end :)
