Ilana Crispi is a San Francisco-based artist/ceramicist who works organic elements into her work, like roots and seeds and sprouting grass. Crispi's gotten numerous accolades for her work, and she was also once a resident artist at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, which is right around the corner from where we Wired ones reside.
My two cents? It looks a lot like the ball of money I found in Shibuya last month. Personally, I'd rather carry around a useless ball of money than a useless ball of seeds.
