FLEETING
“Nothing is more fleeting than external form, which withers and alters like the flowers of the field at the appearance of autumn”
— Umberto Eco
This quote reminded me of the dried poppy seed pods I saved from our garden several years ago and have been meaning to draw ever since. The design in the background is a top view of the seed pod.

love the poppy seed pod, been meaning to draw some myself.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love poppies too! Both in flower & as pods. And the pods are such efficient little seed-shakers too. A marvel of nature's engineering!
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you incorporated the top view as a background pattern. This would make a great fabric design!
