Don’t Let Creative Block Stop You

If you are like me, you get exasperated when you fail to come up with fresh and engaging ideas for your next creative project.  I love 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 ways to kick-start my creativity again.  You may be curious about what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great website for humanities and crafts. 
 
First off 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’m glad that I’ve now read it because it has fully changed how I think about creative ability and capacity.  After working my way thru the various exercises, I discovered some long forgotten interests that when I did them again I gained gigantic 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 veteran in the rubber stamping industry.  You will have seen her recently on CraftTV doing super scrapbook-related episodes.  For some considerable time now, I had been longing for a complete instructional DVD on rubber stamping.  You undoubtedly 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 chock-full of step-by-step instructions to help me.  I also must complement the great video and audio production.
