Design: What's Inspiring Me Today

I have been working on the designs for my Fall'09 scarves, and here are some of the things inspiring me:
peacock feathers
Whistler

And, of course, his Peacock Room

Ikebana

Japanese prints, and night skies
Ming and Delftware

Indian sweets:

Golden Asian Pheasant

So many beautiful things every day! I think this is the root of the artist's ennui: the inability to truly capture the perfection of beauty, and the resulting resignation to attempt merely to grasp at the essence of inspiration, knowing she will never be truly satisfied with the result.
