Raffia curiosity

I am working on a large piece to go over a queen sized bed.  It will have to have dandelions in it per request.  I am doing part painting and part collage. The hillside in the foreground has tan raffia glued to it that I plan to spray paint many shades of green.  It resides in the art room drying rack between work periods and has attracted many questions.  "What is she THINKING!"  "What on earth is that stuff?"  I plan to make the dandelions out of painted Tyvek with many layers to the flowers.  There will be two 3-dimensional ones and many painted in.  Pictures will be showing up here soon.
