How did you get started? What are your tricks for overcoming blocks? <P> 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. <P> * Try your hand at creative jumpstarts straight from the pros.<br> * Glimpse the artists' innermost thoughts and works in progress as you peruse pages from their journals and notebooks.<br> * Share textile artist Sas Colby's triumph over creative block during an exotic art retreat.<br> * Learn how internationally acclaimed artist James Michael Starr uses experience from his former "day job" to fuel his creation today.<br> * Explore the work of Michael deMeng, Claudine Hellmuth, Melissa Zink and the other artists right alongside their insights. <P> No crafter or artist should live the creative life without Living the Creative Life! The inspiration is contagious. 1385171 29 8 2007 Living the Creative Life: Ideas and Inspiration from Working Artists total:49|5:15|4:13|3:16|2:5|1:0| 49 185 103 13 1395020 1581809948 9781581809947 49 13 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183254537m/1395020.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1395020.Living_the_Creative_Life_Ideas_and_Inspiration_from_Working_Artists 3 0 false Sat Mar 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 09 20:17:34 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 20:36:41 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1395020 1581809948 9781581809947 49 13 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183254537m/1395020.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1395020.Living_the_Creative_Life_Ideas_and_Inspiration_from_Working_Artists 5 2 false Wed Dec 17 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jun 10 10:43:10 -0700 2008 Wed May 06 12:08:22 -0700 2009 2

I don't want to rain on anybody's parade, but I was disappointed in this book. The only thing I really liked about it (including most of the artwork) was the little Try This boxes. ]]> 1395020 1581809948 9781581809947 49 13 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183254537m/1395020.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1395020.Living_the_Creative_Life_Ideas_and_Inspiration_from_Working_Artists 3 0 false Tue Oct 28 16:29:10 -0700 2008 Mon Dec 01 09:42:01 -0800 2008 1395020 1581809948 9781581809947 49 13 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183254537m/1395020.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1395020.Living_the_Creative_Life_Ideas_and_Inspiration_from_Working_Artists 4 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jun 22 14:00:17 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 14:01:44 -0700 2008
