I love spidery chrysanthemum flowers, with their long tendrils spiraling out from their centers. They show up a lot in Japanese design.
They 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.
They’re a riot of energy. Those amazing lines!
The real deal. It has the same explosive energy as in the kimono silk designs.
Or how about this one? Amazing!
That pent up energy, exploding out into space. Like fireworks!
Movement, direction, action. Flowers last longer, and my kimono silks longer still, but it’s all about the same thing: Energy!
And Celebration!
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.
