These designs were inspired by the Basella alba or Ceylon Spinach that I photographed a few weeks back. I collected the seeds, crushed them and used a Chinese ink brush to make these drawings.
It all started with the photo in the first post - that of the slender trunk of a young palm in the Singapore Botanical Gardens. Looking at the photos taken I was somehow inspired to make a drawing in a light-hearted kind of manner and from there I discovered that I really enjoy doing this kind of drawing - quick, easy and creative. A new blog is born. Welcome!
