Creative Awakenings - Book Review & What If?

 

I will be resuming my twice monthly book reviews of the books that I have brought over the years and have had a chance to work through them and see how I liked their lessons.  I think it is important for us to be continually learning and expanding the mind, especially creatively, there are so many tools, supplies and techniques that you can learn that might add something to your own creative practice.

Todays book is Creative Awakenings by Sherry Gainer 

The back reads - what if you could unlatch the doors to your heart and allow yourself to explore hopes and dreams that you haven't visited for a very long time?

Creative awakenings is the key to opening those doors showing you how to use art making to set your intentions creativity coach sherry gainer will guide you through the mile posts of this exciting journey.  Creative Awakenings envisioning a life of your dreams through art which is such a lovely way to look at things. 

It has got several chapters and in between each chapter a mile mile markers.  In the first chapter she talks about how it all came about and connecting with other artists and how she how she contacted with them and building your dream journal.  She's also got examples of supplies that you can use and setting yourself up for the journey so the envision process is a specific process that she walks you through step by step.

Examining the question - What if...

Have you ever though about some of the things that you do on your creative walk and asked yourself what would happen if you did something different?  

What are the things that you are striving for and how close are you to achieving these things - where are the areas of growth. Sometimes the 'What if' question is about the direction you are going, or is it a U turn.  The 'What if' question could be a risk taking one, a settling one.  

When I come to a new techniques I ask myself what if I took it in a different direction, that is the way that I learn.  I love experimenting and seeing the different results that I can achieve.  I find I learn so much about the materials when I allow myself to experiment and play with them.  What ever you are asking 'What if' about I hope you are able to expand your horizons and experience the beauty of where you are.  That you never settle, and that you keep on seeing all the possibilities and opportunities that are available to you.

Stay blessed and be a blessing.
