inspiration :: all around

i've been thinking a lot about inspiration this past weekend. it's usually one of the first questions that comes up in an artist or designer interview. what inspires you? i'm not sure whether anyone has an easy time answering this one, but i know that i don't. my inspiration really comes from all over. so what is it that inspires my creativity? i have a far easier time answering this question, and i think it is directly related to inspiration. what are you passionate about? well, that's easy, and it translates. architecture, nature, fashion, colours, textiles, my children. i could go on and on.
