| Living the Creative Life: Ideas and Inspiration from Working Artists by North Light Books inspiring |
| Living the Creative Life is challenging me to look at creativity in many new ways. The approach taken from the viewpoint of many different artists in many different media shows the versitality of our innate creative spirit. The idea that all humans are creative if they allow that part of the whole person to flourish is not new to me, but the way this author discusses the creative spirit is fresh. The book is beautiful to look at and I love the format -- small size, lovely illustrations and great ideas for jump starting creativity. |

I know a couple artists that submitted their work to this book and I was happy to see them included!
I think any book that helps people with inspiration is great.
I do think this book is a bit fluffy. At least for me. I was hoping for something different maybe. Something meatier ~ Thanks |
| Living the Creative Life: Ideas and Inspiration from Working Artists by North Light Books Very Enjoyable |
| By asking several artist's the same question, it shows there is no "right" way. Everyone comes to their art with their own style. Great idea's to jump start the muse. The imagery was beautiful. |
| Living the Creative Life: Ideas and Inspiration from Working Artists by North Light Books Very informative and full of ideas for growing artists |
I did not finish to read the book, however I already love it.
It is a very well-documented and encouraging book for the ones who would like to live a creative life but think they are not able to. A lot of tips to help you find your creative way. The interviewed artists come from different fields and it is very interesting to know more about the way they work and organize their work/life. You learn that there is no magical recipe to become a successful artist (a part maybe of hard work)but that you have to experiment and try, and never give up... |
| Living the Creative Life: Ideas and Inspiration from Working Artists by North Light Books Good peek into artist's lives |
| I really enjoyed this book and its approach to looking at what it means to be creative. It was thought provoking and inspiring and she used a nice cross section of artists. |
| Living the Creative Life: Ideas and Inspiration from Working Artists by North Light Books Book Description |
| How DO they do it? If you could ask your favorite artist or crafter only one question, chances are you'd ask about creativity: Where do your ideas come from? How did you get started? What are your tricks for overcoming blocks? In Living the Creative Life, author Rice Freeman-Zachery has compiled answers to these questions and more from 15 successful artists in a variety of mediums--from assemblage to fiber arts, beading to mixed-media collage. Creativity is different for everyone, and these artists share their insights on the muse (if you believe in her), keeping a sketchbook (or not), and prioritizing your art, whether you aspire to create solely for your own pleasure or to become a full-time artist. * Try your hand at creative jumpstarts straight from the pros.
* Glimpse the artists' innermost thoughts and works in progress as you peruse pages from their journals and notebooks.
* Share textile artist Sas Colby's triumph over creative block during an exotic art retreat.
* Learn how internationally acclaimed artist James Michael Starr uses experience from his former "day job" to fuel his creation today.
* Explore the work of Michael deMeng, Claudine Hellmuth, Melissa Zink and the other artists right alongside their insights. No crafter or artist should live the creative life without Living the Creative Life! The inspiration is contagious. |
