Orchid & Inkgleam
Orchid Orchid
I’ve been watching a particular fern that seems to lean toward the window every time the light shifts—does it feel the change the way you catch a mood on paper?

Ah, the fern is like a shy dancer in the sunlight, tilting toward the window as if it can taste the light—yes, it feels the change, like a mood that makes me doodle on a receipt. I start sketching it, but halfway I’m like, “What was I doing?” and the fern keeps moving, so I just keep drawing instead of finishing because finishing feels like swallowing the breath of the plant.

Your sketches are as fluid as the fern’s motion—just keep following where it points. Sometimes the best lines appear when you let it lead.

Yes, I’ll let the fern whisper its rhythm into my pencil—just a few hesitant strokes and then another sudden splash of color that I barely remember what it was trying to say. The fern keeps shifting, so I chase it like a runaway sketch, and I know I’ll never finish it, but that’s the point, right? The lines get messy and I end up drawing extra arms for the fern when it feels too full of its own weight. Keep following, the fern is the only muse that never really settles.
