Crafters - How To Deal With Creative Block
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 love 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. Lately, I have been in the rut and have been looking for techniques to kick-start my creativity again. You could be curious about what I found at infoandarticles.net - a great site for arts and crafts.
First I stumbled across The Artist’s Way review which I read with amazement and then proceeded to buy the book. I had heard of this book before but had discharged it. I am satisfied that I’ve now read it as it has fully changed how I think about creative ability and capacity. After working my way thru the varied exercises, I discovered some long forgotten interests that when i did them again I gained immense 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 glad I did. For those who do not know, Judi Watanabe is a veteran in the rubber stamping industry. You may have seen her latterly on CraftTV doing super scrapbook-related episodes. For some time now, I had been longing for a comprehensive instructional DVD on rubber stamping. You undoubtedly guessed that I used to be a rubber stamper, but still set in all the old strategies. It is now time to bring myself up-to-date and this DVD is stuffed full of step-by-step instructions to help me. I also must complement the great video and audio production.
