Prince Seed Art at Minnesota State Fair

I was at the Minnesota State Fair today and one of the exhibits I always go to is the seed and crop art exhibit. I have a friend who always enters something and there are always fun pictures made all out of seeds native to Minnesota! This year there were two portraits of Ray Charles! The queen of seed art is a woman named Lillian Colton. She is 93 years old and is always at the fair with her work. One of the works on display is a portrait of Prince! This year she was giving away fans with images of her art and one of them was the Prince image! Here is a scan I made of miy fan:



She also had ones of Willie Nelson and others. Here is a link to a recent article:
