The IT Trader

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 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 curious about what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great site for humanities and crafts. 
 
First I stumbled across The Artist’s Way review which I read with awe and then proceeded to buy the book.  I had been told about this book before but had dismissed it.  I am glad that i have now read it because it has completely 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 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 those who do not know, Judi Watanabe is a veteran in the rubber stamping industry.  You may have seen her lately on CraftTV doing super scrapbook-related episodes.  For some time now, I had been pining 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 techniques.  It is now time to bring myself up-to-date and this DVD is completely full of step by step instructions to help me.  I also must complement the great video and audio production.
