Crafters – How To Deal With Creative Block

If you’re like me, you get exasperated when you fail to come up with fresh and fascinating ideas for your next creative project.  I really like to think of 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 methods to kick-start my creativity again.  You may be inquisitive about what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great site for arts 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 satisfied that i have now read it because it has utterly changed how I believe about creative capability and capability.  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 glad i did.  For those who don’t 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 a period of time now, I had been longing for 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 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.
