Inspire me!

{Whether it be delicately spilled coffee on my journal, overcast lighting in my curtains, peonies, or a teacup, let it be an inspiration for snapshots, visually stimulating mishaps, or purposeful poses.}

Texture.

What makes a texture? Is it the touch and feel of an item? The intricate details of its design? Or possibly the way it catches light?

Dictionary.com (seriously, I love this tool) defines texture as the following:
–noun
1.
the visual and esp. tactile quality of a surface: rough texture. 
2.
the characteristic structure of the interwoven or intertwined threads, strands, or the like, that make up a textile fabric: coarse texture.
3.
the characteristic physical structure given to a material, an object, etc., by the size, shape, arrangement, and proportions of its parts: soil of a sandy texture; a cake with a heavy texture.
4.
an essential or characteristic quality; essence.
5.
Fine Arts.
a.
the characteristic visual and tactile quality of the surface of a work of art resulting from the way in which the materials are used.
b.
the imitation of the tactile quality of represented objects.
6.
the quality given, as to a musical or literary work, by the combination or interrelation of parts or elements.
7.
a rough or grainy surface quality.
8.
anything produced by weaving; woven fabric.
Words that come to my mind:
[1]: scratchy, warm, cozy, wooly, winter, hot cocoa
[2] grandma, delicate, hanky, tea
[3] earthy, rough, rich

texture=joy in my world.
