Dealing with Creative Block for Artists

If you’re like me, you get frustrated when you fail to come up with fresh and engaging ideas 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 rut and run out of creative ideas.  Lately, I have been in the rut and have been searching for ways to kick-start my creativity again.  You could be inquisitive about what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great website for arts and crafts. 
 
First off I came across 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 discharged it.  I’m satisfied that i have now read it as it has fully changed how I believe about creative capability and capability.  After working my way through 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 satisfied I did.  For those that have no idea, Judi Watanabe is a vet in the rubber stamping industry.  You may have seen her recently on CraftTV doing super scrapbook-related episodes.  For some time now, I had been pining for a complete 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 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.
