Where do get your inspiration?

After browsing Etsy this morning (yes, I'm procrastinating again!) I found myself thinking how many talented people there are on Etsy. I wondered where did they get their inspiration? For me, I love Alice in Wonderland, so I am drawn to anything which invokes this.

I came across the clock (above) by CyberMoon-isn't it great?

I recently went on a surprise trip to Chester Zoo with my lovely boyfriend and I was very inspired! Lots of weird and wonderful animals which would readily lend themselves to being immortalised in gorgeous paintings and jewellery.

So what inspires you?
