Fall color in the garden #kosmimatabysg #hydrangeas #fall2017

Printing some of my #100DaysofDrawing designs onto silk faille and learning about the intricacies of transferring a design onto fabric, something I have dreamed about and wanted to do for the longest time. This is the first sample to get a feel of the process before I think about colors and other important details of the process. #kosmimatanewwork #kosmimatabysg #kosmimatastudiodesigns

WORDS

"The voice of beauty speaks softly."

"Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty - he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world."
-NIETZSCHE

"Beauty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded, but must be current, and the good thereof
Consists in mutual and partaken bliss.
-JOHN MILTON

"The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw."
-HAVELOCK ELLIS

"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty."
-JOHN KEATS

“I long for the imperishable quiet at the heart
of form.”

“Deep in their roots all flowers keep the light.”

“The darkness has its own light.”

“Those who are willing to be vulnerable move among mysteries.”
-THEODORE ROETHKE

"You are ocean and stardust."
-KIM NOGUEIRA

"Beauty is nothing but the promise of happiness
-STENDHAL

“There is another world, but it is in this one.”

“Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart longs for, and have no fear. Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet.”

"For hours when all must fade like dew, but flame on flame, and deep on deep, throne over throne where in half sleep, their swords upon their iron knees, brood her [Beauty's] high lonely mysteries."
- W. B. YEATS

"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."
- ALBERT EINSTEIN

A [jewel] "should not mean but be."
- ARCHIBALD MACLEISH
