Are you stuck in a creative rut, and you're looking for inspiration? What if you could add just one truly magical tool to your arsenal to deepen your creative practice and get rid of artist’s block once and for all?

Looking for inspiration can be daunting. Scrolling through Pinterest or Instagram in search of new ideas may seem like a good solution. However, feeding yourself with images that others created makes it that much harder for you to try and come up with something original and uniquely yours. What is more, you can get easily discouraged by all the talent out there, and it can dampen your spirit even more.

Luckily, there is a way for you to cultivate your own ideas and get access to an endless source of inspiration. In this class, I’ll show you how to do it!

I started my first idea book over twenty years ago, and I’ve been keeping one ever since. So what is an idea book? Well, it’s a treasure trove containing all your great ideas and inspirations, gathered in one place, so you can access them easily whenever you start working on a new project.

Snippets of dreams, overheard conversations, fragments of books, and beautiful plants you see during a nature walk. All these things can feed your imagination and become a unique source of inspiration for your art, filtered through the lens of your own experience and sensitivity. You just have to tune into the world around you, observe it with curiosity, and record all the gems you see, hear, feel and smell.

Collected over the weeks, months, and years, these bits of inspiration turn into a vast repository of amazing ideas you can make into reality one by one.

The more you use your idea book and add to it, the more you get to know yourself as an artist. It can help you to maintain a consistent creative practice, develop your style and artistic voice, and simply derive more joy from making art.

This class is for all the creatives out there. Whether you are an illustrator, a writer, a photographer, or a crafter, you will find immense value in gathering your inspirations consistently.

We’ll talk about looking for ideas, capturing them as they come to you, and transferring them into one safe place. I will show you how to fill your idea book and how to use it.

By the end of this class, you will have all the knowledge you need to create your own idea book that will serve you for years to come. So start gathering your precious ideas today, and have inspiration at your fingertips anytime you need it!
