You’d think that I’d be interested in drawing something from my garden like mint or chives or maybe cucumber with all those curly cues. Back in October 2021, I suddenly (and almost urgently? like a drop everything moment) got inspiration from my blossoming eggplant…plant… from my pandemic garden. Turns out this fruiting bush provides lots of playful energy that I couldn’t help but capture. I started messing around with sketching it with my favorite pink pencil, then created a repeating pattern by cleaning it up and cutting it (this is a great resource for a how-to) and finally scanned it and took it digital.
This is still a work in progress and I’m loving the many layers and chapters that this project is taking.
Can’t wait to see where this takes me. Stay tuned!
