QUOTE

"Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it and his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it "creative observation". Creative viewing." William S. Burroughs

Quoted Jewelry

I found a necklace as I perused Comfort Station's online store that was simply a quote typed on the shape of a banner. I thought the quote quite beautiful...
"COVER me over in dusk and dust and dreams."
Beautiful. I would like to know what this feels like.

Jeanine Payer is another jeweler whose work utilizes inspirational quotes.

I want to dig up some other quotes I go back to time and time again. For a later post...
Good night m'dear.

Mandela quote

I grabbed this Nelson Mandela quote from a comment made on your blog by someone who goes by b... it is one that I come across now and again that resonates with me every time I read it.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?"

b also, said this...
Art for instance… The best art compels us to change ourselves for the better. Perhaps, that's what Rilke tells in his poem: art pushes us to leave the commonplace and to go in the quest of the exceptional. The exceptional is our souls' true motherland.'
