If you’re like me, you get frustrated when you fail to come up with fresh and interesting ideas for your next creative project. I like to think about this as being like ‘writer’s block’ – any creative person can also get in a rut and run out of creative ideas. Recently, I have been in the rut and have been looking for methods to kick-start my creativity again. You could be interested in what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great website for humanities and crafts.
First off I came across The Artist’s Way review which I read with amazement and then proceeded to buy the book. I had been told about this book before but had dismissed it. I’m satisfied that I’ve now read it because it has completely modified how I believe about creative ability and capacity. After working my way thru the diverse exercises, I discovered some long forgotten interests that when I did them again I gained enormous pleasure. I found myself asking why I had stopped doing those things.
The other surprise from the site was the DVD Rubber Paper Scissors with Judi Watanabe review which also led me to buy and I am so happy I did. For those that have no idea, Judi Watanabe is a veteran in the rubber stamping industry. You may have seen her latterly on CraftTV doing super scrapbook-related episodes. For a period of time now, I had been longing for a total instructional DVD on rubber stamping. You in all likelihood guessed that I used to be a rubber stamper, but still set in all the old methodologies. It is now time to bring myself recent and this DVD is completely full of step by step instructions to help me. I also must complement the great video and audio production.
