This is just another take on the Pandora's Box myth. Kind of a
"simple actions can have disasterous results" sort of thing.
I wanted to make the thing's hanging below the cliff, Sword of
Damocles style, much more ominous and scary. My first thought was
to have someone beneath it, staring up in fear. Then I thought
the dandelion root should should be the lynch-pin to some sort
of avalanche, destroying a peaceful village below. But in the
end, well, I ran out of paper. So I just made it a vague, blobby
kind of thing suspended by the roots. Oh well. I have her looking
back to someone out of the frame. Her smiling expression is
intended to portray a "hey, check this out" kind of feeling, with
no idea of the disaster she is about to unleash. And oddly enough,
I'm not in a particularly grim mood. Perhaps that's why I spent
more of the time on her than on the consequences. Like I said, it's
mostly because I haven't put a lot of things up this month.
