Dealing with Creative Block for Artists

If you are like me, you get irritated when you fail to come up with fresh and engaging concepts for your next creative project.  I really like to think about this as being like ‘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 looking for techniques to kick-start my creativity again.  You could be interested in what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great website for arts and crafts. 
 
firstly , I found 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 am pleased that i have now read it because it has completely modified how I think about creative ability and capability.  After working my way through the varied exercises, I discovered some long forgotten interests that when i did them again I gained immense delight.  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 glad i did.  For people that don’t know, 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 considerable time now, I had been pining 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 techniques.  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.
