Three Things : Creative Books (+ a giveaway)
Three books to inspire, challenge and fill you up creatively this week:
True Vision: Authentic Art Journaling
Acrylic Revolution
Taking Flight: Inspiration And Techniques To Give Your Creative Spirit Wings
Here's one of the Amazon reviews on this book:
Kelly Rae Roberts is an amazingly talented artist and apparently
equally gifted as a writer as well. This book is a journey from her
soul right into yours. It's part journal, part sitting around getting
deep with your girlfriends, part interviews with other talented artists
and part art instruction. So very different from other art books, even
from the same publisher. It goes above and beyond and straight into
your heart & head, making you think about your own creativity.
And until you find your creative spirit, the how-to make art
sections are very clearly thought out and well written. I know that I
will be able duplicate even the pieces that had materials I've never
used before.
This book is a treasure that I know I will refer to again and again.
I have two copies of Taking Flight to give away this week. To be entered into the drawing leave a comment below and let me know about your favorite creative technique is these days (it can be scrapbooking, mixed media, anything). Comments will be closed tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5pm Pacific and the winners announced shortly after.

My favorite creative technique right now is heat embossing on my scrapbook layouts. I guess it's an old school technique but I'm trying to find several ways to get the most use out of my rainbow of embossing powders and heat gun.

My favorite technique right now is trying to remove the excess from my pages. In the past I have bought everything and it started to look like an embellishment "sneeze". Now I'm trying to re-focus the way I look at my scrapbooking bring in a new technique of less is more.

My favorite thing to create lately is making unique journals to give away. I've been making them out of all different size notebooks and note card packs. It's so fun and even more fun to give away!

Scrapbooking as always gives me an awesome outlet for creativity, but lately I have also been into sewing and especially embroidering. I love all kinds of media and I have a degree in Art so as you probably know I love to create with my hands which I believe is a direct link to the creativity in the soul. I would love to be a winner of this awesome book.

My two favorite techniques at the moment are playing with alcohol inks and painting using gesso and acrylics. I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone to be a little messy. Love the new process!

I've been using a lot of stamps in my scrapbooking lately. I also like using paints and inks to distress my projects.

I'be been stamping alot lately which is really getting back to the basics for me as I started out with stamping. It is nice to get the old "stuff" out and create with it and make it useful again!

Mixed media-can't get enough. Love the use of paints, papers, stamps and junque all together. I do want to get back to scrapbooking, though. I overdosed on that trying to get albums together for my parent's 50th anniversary a few years ago.

I have been altering dominoes. It's so fun to paint/stamp them and give them away. And they're the perfect size for a little creativity.
