gardener creates nice tendrils from a drawn path. assign one of the scriptographer-tools to the gardener script and select some objects in your document. then start drawing your shape. the selected objects will be used in a random order and size as the end objects of each created branch. make sure you tweak the script options by
a doubleclick on the assigned scriptographer-tool.

note:
you need to smooth the small branches manually. (if you zoom in close, you'll find them very edgy.) do this by selecting all the created branches, then go to the illustrator-menu > object > path > simplify.
