 Art pack-bad idea August 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This was a very poorly designed attempt at inspiring budding artists to try various ways of approaching their art. Unfortunately, I found the exercises simplistic and uninspiring for all but the newbie weekend artist types. It's not useful at all for working artists or anyone with skills advanced beyond the very beginning levels.
Great stuff May 27, 2008

Don't feel stuck, or unsure of what to do next - get this book into your hands and get creating. Joyful, fun and inspirational. If you are prepared to push past your own boundaries and fears and have some colourful fun, this book will really bring some new ideas to your work table.

Wonderfully inspiring book to get the creative juices started! I was in an artistic slump and this book really gave me the jump start I needed to get back to creating more intuitively. I highly recommend this book to all levels of artistic experience, beginner to advanced.

The Artists Muse: Unlock the Door to Your Creativity
This is an awesome package of book and cards, chuck full of ideas enough to keep you busy for years! The book is beautifully illustrated, full of challenges, thoughful quotes, and work assignments with all the elements of a piece of art. The 3 decks of ideas & instructions is visually beautiful with color and imprints so you MUST open them. And when you read the content, no Muse could continue to sleep in boredom. There are personal invitations to embark into an adventure for your own inner growth in the Cirles of Growth, Doors of Awareness or Windows of Opportunity. It is a sure cure for the doldroms! What fun for yourself or a group of friends.

A Book and Deck of Inspiration March 4, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I buy books for one purpose. I want to be inspired. Inspired by the knowledge, wisdom, exploration, talent and sheer delight of what others are doing and have done. This book is full of inspiration. If you don't find inspiration in the book (and I know you will) you will be nearly pushed to your creative space by the force of ideas you will gain from the innovative and brilliantly designed deck of creativity prompts. There is nothing else like it, but then there are few others like the talented author, Ms. Stroud.
