The Alchemist's Pantry ATC - Magic in Your Yard

It's hard to cook and create without the ingredients necessary. So we are going to do a series of Botanical ATC's that highlights the weeds around you. A weed is a plant whose usefulness has yet to be discovered.

Hopefully through these swaps you will gain an appreciation for the magic and medicine in the plants that the first alchemists used. Since we all live in different parts of the world I thought for the first ATC we would do a plant that is everywhere. Dandelions, which are a very nutrient rich plant that has many uses. Please note that none of this information is to be used as a substitute for the advice and care of your physician.

For this ATC you will draw or find a botanical print of the lowly dandelion and color, embellish and otherwise decorate it as you choose, except for stickers being the whole ATC it will pretty much be anything goes.

Here is a link for a good line drawing Here but feel free to find your own, there are some beautiful botanical prints out there. Just do a search on Botanical Prints - dandelions.

Then you need to provide on the back of the ATC two facts about dandelions, such as what part of the dandelion is good for getting rid of plantar warts? Here is a link for dandelion uses

Please no flaking or you'll be banned from the group which is simply an expectation for the group. Make it your best effort and most of all have fun. Any recent 1's or 3's must have pre-approval before signing up for the swap. I'll judge it on a case by case basis.
