Don’t Let Creative Block Stop You

If you’re like me, you get exasperated when you fail to come up with fresh and fascinating concepts for your next creative project.  I really like to think of this as being similar to ‘writer’s block’ – any creative person can also get in a groove 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 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 as it has utterly changed how I suspect about creative ability and capability.  After working my way thru the varied exercises, I discovered some long forgotten interests that when i did them again I gained immense enjoyment.  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 satisfied i did.  For people that have no idea, Judi Watanabe is a veteran in the rubber stamping industry.  You will have seen her latterly on CraftTV doing super scrapbook-related episodes.  For some time now, I had been craving a comprehensive 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 strategies.  It is now time to bring myself up-to-date and this DVD is chock-full of step-by-step instructions to help me.  I also must complement the great video and audio production.
