Cheating the Muse - Letter N

Hey there, creative friends!

Today's post is about something new. Try out new art material, or dig in your stash and use one you haven't played with in a while. Or you can try a new type of art.

Have you tried collage art yet? And not using magazine papers or other preprinted materials. Instead, make your own papers and cut them or tear them up to create something new.

How about drawing a building if you usually draw people? Or do a landscape in oil pastel instead of oil paint.

The options are endless. Trying something new or different can inspire you to get out of that creative rut. Or inspire you to start a new project.

If you're a writer, how about a short story if you're a novel writer? Novels can be disheartening since they take much more time, but short stories are so satisfying, too. Or, if you write contemporary stories, why not try something in the fantasy genre? Or a historical novel? Just be careful of the rabbit hole called research. Trust me, we've all gotten lost in that one.

What have you always wanted to try? This could be a good time to cheat the muse and recharge your creative juices.

Until tomorrow!

  1. I guess I'm not so good at trying new things or new ways of doing things. Once in a while, I will try but habits are hard to break.

    I can't think of anything I want to try right now but I'm sure something will come up when I least expect it.

    Have a lovely day.

    1. I am on the opposite extreme, always trying new things and I am not sure that is such a good thing. I have been on a spending spree this year, and have decided to stop before it got out of hand. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Have an awesome day, Lissa and thank you for stopping by. 💜
