This week's Inspiration Avenue challenge was - quite fittingly - inspiration!
Whilst I firmly believe that inspiration can come from anywhere and everywhere, I have noticed that I am drawn to certain symbols and themes repeatedly. So this is my list of the things that inspire me most-
Colour
Collections and keepsakes
Love hearts
Things that are hidden, or partially covered
Words, both the look of lettering on a page and the meaning behind them
Things with a past, memories
Decay - the texture and colour of rust, faded beauty, softness.
Keys. Secrets.
Buttons
Nature - especially butterflies, feathers, tree branches and flowers
You can see lots more ideas on inspiration here.
So ... what inspires you?

I find inspiration often comes from unlikely sources- here are some of my themes. Texture, seaside, the transience of grafitti, circles,letters,text, home, escape, shelter
