I just started reading this book, "The Creative License" by Danny Gregory. It's hard to make time to read, but I do and this is one of several books I am currently reading. It's fun, inventive, and most of all...helpful for my creative process. I enjoy the way the author makes me laugh and think, yes, that's right!One of my favorite quotes from the book is: "In the end, you see, you can't really suppress your creative urge. As Jeff Goldblum says in Jurassic Park, Nature Will Find a Way." How true is this!
There are lots of great visuals in this book, plus the text is rather unconventional, which I think is part of what helps keep my interest and enjoy the read even more. I would recommend this book if you are looking for something fun to stimulate your creative thought process.
I had a great weekend of creativity. I'm getting my inventory ready for the delivery to Coyote Creek this coming Saturday. I imagine I'll be busy most of this week completing paper work, packing things up, etc. I plan on posting pictures of some of my new jewelry pieces over the next couple of days.
Here's wishing all of you a great week of creativity. :)

Kathleen Thanks for your sweet comments in my blog. But what I really want to say, Is I Love Your Blog! Your blog is so creative and colorful. I hope someday I learn how to put all the stuff you have on the right side of your blog onto mine. I'd really like to feature some of my fav's the way you do. And yes, when you show us some of your new designs inspired by the creative license be sure to remind me. Happy packing!
Thank you all!
