Hello, Creative Friends!

It can be hard to start any journey. Let me assure you a creative voyage is no exception. We might get caught up in researching the best tools or constructing the best time to start. I find as a creative, what I need is to read. Read about someone else who climbed the mountain of self-doubt, crossed the passage of you- are-not-good-enough and created.

Here Are 3 Books To Make 2024 The Biggest Creative Year Yet.

1. Creative Limits: Restricting ideas might be a way to get us on the path.

2. Guide The Way: If we are an artist like Thomas Deininger there is no road map but this guide can help a creative expedition.

3. Pint-Sized Learning: Dive into this and watch how creativity is contagious.

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or what creative books you are reading this year.

Paddle California Print At INPRNT

Hi, Creative Friends,

Spring is brimming with blooms. With the enormous winter rains we had here in California, all the seeds nature planted last year are turning the hillsides into what is called a “Superbloom!” Bright orange California poppies, ombre purple Lupine, and delicate pink Dwarf Checker Mallow flowers fill the landscape and this spectacular display of color made me think about how anyone can find creative progress after dormancy. This week…

Find Your Super Bloom this Spring With These 3 Good Creative Ideas.

1. Color Wonder: Have you ever walked through a park or watched a beautiful sunset and been overwhelmed by color? Yes, there is a reason why sky blue and flame orange look so beautiful together, and we can practice these same color rules when we pick a couch color, make a dinner delightful or plant a rose garden. Read about “Color Theory Basics: How To Use Color Theory in Interior Design” on Foyr and watch your color knowledge bloom.

2. Sketch For The Curious: Sometimes we feel our creative progress stop. We get burnt out from doing the same creative work day after day. Whether it’s how to: design our house, raise children, find career growth, or make dinner we can all start to feel drained by creative work. Get your creative bloom back by sketching on this Quick Draw Doodle Program from Google. It’s a fun way to take a break and be curious and sketch for fun.

3. Not All Who Wander: Trying something new rewires the brain. That is to say, studies show, it is good for your mental health to go out, get lost, somewhere or in something. Read more at Adventures.com “How Travel Changes Your Brain” or try a new sport such as Stand-up Paddleboarding to see how getting out of a comfort zone can make us bloom!

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on and how you let your creativity bloom.

Hi, Creative Friends,

Tomorrow is Earth Day! We are all spinning on a beautiful round sphere in the middle of space. Our amazing planet is full of diversity and wonder. However, like frogs boiling in a pot of water, we feel the pain and damage we are doing to our big blue beautiful home. That’s why here are…

3 Creative And Easy Ways To Make Planet Earth Healthy And Happy.

1. Plant A Tree: Warren Buffet said it best, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” Trees give us so much including the air we breathe, they keep the planet cool, and make the world we live in rich history. That’s why deforestation threatens us all. Planting a tree now at The Nature Conservatory will ensure life in the future.

2. Creative Earth: If you think creativity can’t influence and change minds, look at 10 Artists Tackling Climate Change and their work. Their work can help us gain a fresh perspective on how the planet needs help.

3. Art Exchange: That big box of crayons sitting in the bottom of a closet, the drawer of mix-matched markers in the kitchen drawer, a ball of thread from a Halloween costume sitting in the hall closet, the buckets of paint filling the garage shelf, and the pile of books at the foot of the bed all are treasures for other artists or friends. Try exchanging art materials at a place like the Creative Refuse Depot or installing a “Little Free Library” to pass on stories. Sharing materials can inspire creativity and help the planet in the process.

“The Poppy” A Doodle From Taking A Break

Hi, Creative Friends-

Life can be overwhelming and our work, the work that captures the highest expression of ourselves, can be incredibly rewarding but it can also be depleting. Have you found yourself deep in a project that needs every ounce of talent, laser focus, and oodles of your time only to find the project isn’t progressing as you had wished? That’s when we need a break and here are…

3 Creative Ideas To Take A Break To Help Your Work Soar.

1. Doodle Up Your Day: Yes, doodling works to help flush out ideas and switch the brain into a mode of creative meditation. When you find yourself frustrated with your work, set a timer for 5, 15, or 30 min and doodle up your day. Draw what you gobbled down for breakfast, something funny you noticed on your way to work, or a few office supplies on your desk. Doodling will soften the brain, help flush out ideas and relieve stress.

2. Bring On The Om: Try humming for a few minutes. Did you know humming even a simple “Om” like in yoga can reduce stress levels and stabilize a heartbeat? A simple humming sound can clear the mind to make room for new ideas that can make work soar.

3. Creative Naptime: The famous painter Salvador Dalí did it and you can too, take a nap to make your work better. Read all about how Dalí used naps to influence his creative work at “Artsy: Taking A Nap Could Make You More Creative.”

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on and what kind of breaks you take to make your creative work soar.
