Finding tea in Somerset Studio Magazine …

I find so much creative inspiration from flipping through the gorgeous pages of Somerset Studio. I've had this August/September/October 2020 issue for over a month now, and I finally had time to start poring over the pages the other night. The cover image is so lovely with those impressionistic roses, and I learned they are the work of Renee Mueller, a classically trained dancer. If you love roses and portraits of women, pick up this issue and you'll definitely be inspired!


And while I wasn't  looking for tea in this issue, I couldn't help smiling when I came across this teacup in some artwork by Renee Zarate. I love the colorful inks of the background too.

And yet another colorful and creative teacup showed up in artwork by Monica Berridge. I am always heartened to see a teacup in artwork, and I'm also inspired to continue inserting teacup imagery into the things I create, from books and needlework and stamped cards to—one day, maybe—some fancy artwork of my own.

This magazine is one that never fails to inspire me. What inspires you to create? I'd love to know!

  1. I'm not familiar with that magazine, but those examples of the artwork in it are very nice. I especially like the one with the large flowered teacup in front of the window.bI get inspired by pictures in magazines, too, and also by artwork in museums, and particularly by gardens.

  2. Love both those pictures of art with teacups.
    What inspires me these days is a good night sleep and nothing much planned for the next day. Ha!
