36.🪴 Specimen: The Eyebud

📜 Field Guide

Among the strangest sprouts of the Poison Garden, the Eyebud appears as a dark, knotted bud parting just enough to reveal a vivid blue eye. Folklore marks it as a plant that “sees between worlds,” forever observing its keeper with quiet curiosity. To some it is a guardian; to others, a mirror that notices more than it should.

🍄 Habitat

The Eyebud prefers mossy beds and shaded corners where the air is cool and damp. It thrives in still places, often found near stone walls or pools of water where its gaze lingers on shifting reflections.

⚠️ Warning

Its stare unsettles even the bold. It is whispered that an Eyebud can follow memory and thought, tracing secrets you’d rather keep hidden. Best not to gaze too long.

🎨 Sculptor’s Note

Each Eyebud is hand-sculpted in clay and painted by hand, making every one unique. The eye is detailed to feel alive, turning each piece into a singular companion of uncanny charm.
