Energy!

June 29, 2013 1 Comment

Kiku Jacket

I love spidery chrysanthemum flowers, with their long tendrils spiraling out from their centers. They show up a lot in Japanese design.

kiku closeThey are not demure little things. They do not sit quietly in their vases. These petals blow out from their centers and race out into space.

redbubble.com 1The real deal. It has the same explosive energy as in the kimono silk designs.

fireworksbywestern.com 2That pent up energy, exploding out into space. Like fireworks!

Happy Forth of July!

    That jacket is a tour de force of value and line. Brava! And such a beautiful post, from jacket to flower to fireworks. Lovely.
