I will be resuming my twice monthly book reviews of the books that I have brought over the years and have had a chance to work through them and see how I liked their lessons. I think it is important for us to be continually learning and expanding the mind, especially creatively, there are so many tools, supplies and techniques that you can learn that might add something to your own creative practice.

Examining the question - What if...Have you ever though about some of the things that you do on your creative walk and asked yourself what would happen if you did something different?
What are the things that you are striving for and how close are you to achieving these things - where are the areas of growth. Sometimes the 'What if' question is about the direction you are going, or is it a U turn. The 'What if' question could be a risk taking one, a settling one.
When I come to a new techniques I ask myself what if I took it in a different direction, that is the way that I learn. I love experimenting and seeing the different results that I can achieve. I find I learn so much about the materials when I allow myself to experiment and play with them. What ever you are asking 'What if' about I hope you are able to expand your horizons and experience the beauty of where you are. That you never settle, and that you keep on seeing all the possibilities and opportunities that are available to you.
Stay blessed and be a blessing.
