Creative Finds: Taking Flight by Kelly Rae Roberts
One of my favorite books of late is the book Taking Flight~Inspiration & Techniques to Give Your Creative Spirit Wings, by Kelly Rae Roberts. The book is deceptive: it looks sweet and easy to read. Well, it is sweet...but, I found it very thought-provoking. While I usually skim books looking for bits and pieces of tutorials I can use in my art, this book actually took me two weeks to read. Two of the chapters, "Unearthing Buried Dreams," and "Facing Your Fears" contained some thought processes that helped me overcome some of the "inner chatter" that was holding me back. Very cool stuff.

Of course, you can just purchase this book straight from Amazon, but there are two ways you can support us artists. If you wanted a signed copy from the artist with a limited edition print: click here. If you are buying this book because of my recommendation (I get a referral commission and you still pay the Amazon price) click here.

ReplyDeleteThanks MoonKatty and Nancy! Kelly Rae will make you want to try collage...but, I just translated the tutorials into ideas in my medium (silver and glass). The inspirational ideas were really helpful to me. Hope you have fun reading her book.
