About this product

Product Information

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 Ricë 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.

A fabulous book to develop your creativity
I have been a professional artist, designer and writer since 1981. Over the past 27(!) years I have amassed shelves of books claiming to encourage and develop creativity. I've been to a Julia Cameron (The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity) workshop, read books and magazine articles, tried journal keeping, sketching, and dozens of other techniques purported to enhance creativity. Where did all this get me? Wanting. Wanting to talk to other artists about how they actually worked. I wanted to talk about workspaces, priorities, making time for art, how they dealt with creative block, and a whole lot more. So what comes along to answer these questions? Living the Creative Life: Ideas and Inspiration from Working Artists by Rice Freeman-Zachery. In Living the Creative Life: Ideas and Inspiration from Working Artists, Rice Freeman-Zachery interviewed 15 successful artists in a variety of mediums--from assemblage to fiber arts, beading to mixed-media collage. Since creativity is a different kettle of fish for everyone, having input from 15 artists is invaluable. Beginning with the first chapter, I can guarantee you will want to put this book down and try out some of the suggestions and exercises that fill the book. These exercises range from giving up tv, movies, magazines and newspapers and instead reading, sitting quietly and letting the ideas flow in to developing rituals when it is time to work. Beautifully designed, this book will help you find your own way in the art world by listening and learning from those have gone before you. I recommend this book without reservation. No crafter or artist should live the creative life without Living the Creative Life! The inspiration is contagious.Read full review

Living the Creative Life
This book is a catalyst for inspiration and creativity. It shows the different works of artists and how they come up with ideas. It has little sections through out the book that is intitled TRY THIS! and gives you little assignments to try on your own if you are looking for a direction to jump-start a new vision of what you can create. It gives you ideas on mediums to try and styles, many collage, many mixed media. I enjoy just looking through the book. Love it!
