The Chia Pet was invented in 1977. The clay body that it is made of is hollwed out and small grooves are scored into the surface. The moistened chia seeds (Salvia Columbaraie) produce a pasty thick texture that binds it to the clays surface. I decided to make me chia into a weird and unusual face. When i went in one day to finish off the scoring where my seeds would go, i found that somone had literally grabbed and smushed my chia's face. so i made my little brother a shark instead.
