Lotus Butterfly  #51  -  Graphic - Paper Design   2.20.12

The flower invites the butterfly with no-mind;
The butterfly visits the flower with no-mind.
The flower opens, the butterfly comes;
The butterfly comes, the flower opens.
I don't know others,
Others don't know me.
By not-knowing we follow nature's course.
-Ryokan

Sea of Flight  #50  -  Textile Fabric Design  -  (Pucci Palette)  2-19-12

Far out at sea, --the sun was high, While veer'd the wind and flapped the sail, 

We saw a snow-white butterfly Dancing before the fitful gale, 

Far out at sea.    - Richard Hengist Horne

The Butterfly Family

They dance and cling to air, swirling in space, 

fluttering in secret, living in joy. 

Together, they fly as one and are never alone.

“Kathleen Kelly: Once I read a story about a butterfly in the subway, and today, I saw one. It got on at 42nd, and off at 59th, where, I assume it was going to Bloomingdale's to buy a hat that will turn out to be a mistake - as almost all hats are.”  - You've got mail quotes (Movie)

Graphic B. - Pucci Inspired - 2-13-12

LOOK THROUGH EYES OF HOPE AND SEE
A BUTTERFLY INSIDE THE CATERPILLAR,
HOPE KNOWS THAT BEAUTY IS WAITING TO BE
BORN IN THE UNLIKELIEST PLACES ...

My soul will be your pendant: I live to adorn you - You're the precious one.

“Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into 

beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves.”  - Drew Barrymore

freedom and a little flower."  ~Hans Christian Andersen"
