Two Great Reviews for Crafters

If you are like me, you get irritated 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 similar to ‘writer’s block’ – any creative person can also get in a rut and run out of creative ideas.  Latterly, I have been in the rut and have been looking for methods to kick-start my creativity again.  You may be interested in what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great website for arts and crafts. 
 
firstly , 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 am pleased that i have now read it as it has fully modified how I think about creative capability and capacity.  After working my way thru 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 satisfied i did.  For those that do not know, Judi Watanabe is a vet 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 comprehensive instructional DVD on rubber stamping.  You undoubtedly 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.
