Crafters – How To Deal With Creative Block

Filed under: Other Stuff — admin @ 6:08 am

If you are like me, you get frustrated when you fail to come up with fresh and engaging ideas for your next creative project.  I like to think about this as being similar to ‘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 searching for methods to kick-start my creativity again.  You may be interested in what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great web site for humanities and crafts. 
 
First I found The Artist’s Way review which I read with awe and then proceeded to buy the book.  I had been told of this book before but had dismissed it.  I am pleased that i have now read it because it has fully modified how I believe about creative capability and capacity.  After working my way thru the diverse 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’m so happy I did.  For those that don’t know, Judi Watanabe is a vet in the rubber stamping industry.  You will have seen her lately on CraftTV doing super scrapbook-related episodes.  For some time now, I had been pining for a total instructional DVD on rubber stamping.  You most probably guessed that I used to be a rubber stamper, but still set in all the old techniques.  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.
