Kicked my creativity into overdrive!

I am not an extensive user of loopers. In fact I haven't had a looper in several years. I don't even remember what brand it was. That said, I have two small children so my guitar playing is limited these days. I don't really get to jam with people anymore so I thought a looper might be a good way to kick my creativity back into overdrive and get back into writing instead of just playing the same old stuff. This little pedal has done just that. Those little 15-30 minute guitar sessions that I sneak in between chasing children, working and sleeping feel so much more productive and oddly enough, so much less repetitive. I don't know how I never got into this whole looping thing before. I've got riffs just pouring out of me now. If only I had more time to record again. I love the size, simplicity and overall sound of this looper. I literally plugged it in and started using it with in seconds. There are obviously bigger loopers with more buttons, bells and whistles but for what this thing does, it's simply perfect. So glad I got this.

This was an amazing book!  It made me want to run out and buy seeds so I could start my own project.  The book was wonderful but the best part was the section on Laura Melnick and Mark Dahlager.  Their creativity is incredible and surpassed by none. Buy this book now!

I've been procrastinating about putting my art on line and your book has given me the push I needed to get started. You offer lots and lots of suggestions, but the thing that helped me most was your directive to "just do it". NOW! It'll probably be wrong in some way but it can be fixed later. Get started! This flattened my "analysis-paralysis" and perfectionism, and today I put my art on the internet in an on-line shop on Shopify. You can take a look here: [...] Thanks so much for the encouragement!

It has been a joy, fun and hilarious ride all the way, with a dab of emotions even I couldn't avoid. This story was completely unexpected, the author with his runaway imagination is awesome, so creative and mind blowing! I just felt like Cal when he discovered the multiverse and..... guys, you've got to read this book!

My daughter and I have literally browsed through the pages of this book every day for the past week. It is overflowing with ideas and fun projects and we have been trying to take it all in! We have already made a gumdrop wreath (using Easter Egg gumdrops) and paper origami candy dishes. I know we will be making projects for months (and years!) to come because of the inspiration in this book.

The Martha Stewart craft crew have outdone themselves on this book and I love that they have launched a new crafts blog as well. What fun!

This book has alot of interesting ideas using many forms of creativity and many different types of medium to spark your internal creative powers. I have used this book, not everyday as recommended, but between my projects and is definitely a creative inspiration! I probably will not use all of them but have already used many and have definitely enjoyed the experience.

This stuff is so much fun!  It was easy to use, and came with great instructions for melting, coloring, and shaping the plastic.  Your possibilities with this stuff are seriously endless!  I love that it came with a booklet showing you different projects you could use the plastic for, ideas that I wouldn't have thought of on my own.  Using this to strengthen and fix the weak point on my phone charger is genius, so glad they mentioned it!  Not only can I go back and fix those cords that I thought were ready for the garbage, but I can also color code it, and make it known to world that this cord is mine!

I followed the directions that came with the package, and had success on my first try.  However, I will say there is an art to learning how to manipulate and mold it (I'm still working on perfecting that part of it).  Nothing a few trial runs can't fix.  AND!! Trial runs are no big deal, because if you mess it up, back in the hot water it goes, and it's ready to be re-molded!  I love that it can be reused!  So many other similar products are a one time shot to get it right, but not with this stuff!  My best comparison to what the material is like when it's moldable is silly putty.  It has the same qualities to give you an idea of what you're working with.

I also tried using alcohol ink to stain the plastic and it worked fantastically!  You do have to remember that alcohol ink can get messy, and make sure you wear gloves so you don't stain your hands, but the colors worked great!  I just kneaded the alcohol ink right into the plastic after I heated it up.

Advice:  Don't bother with heating water on the stove.  I microwaved the water for 1 minute in a glass bowl and it was ready to go.  I would caution you about what clothing or cloth material you have around you when you are working with this stuff.  It got on my sleeve, and I'm not sure that it's going to completely come out.  Not a huge deal, just know not to wear your best attire when working with this plastic.  It's arts and crafts, and sometimes they get messy.

I don't feel like any pictures really do the product justice, so i'm working on a video I will get posted up in a few days!

I received this product for free/at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest opinion and review.  Know that not all products get a 5 star review from me, and that this truly is an awesome product!

This lighthearted doodling book inspires with fun visuals and witty captions. From designing the perfect sandwich to creating an epic burger, this book lets your creative foodie-spirit run wild. I especially liked the "20 Signs You're a Foodie" list at the beginning of the book -- checked off almost every item on it!

This is probably one of the most entertaining things I have ever done. I'm twenty and unashamed that I bought this for myself, and I adore doing creative things like this!

If only I had been armed with this information in college but Oh how grateful I am to have it now!
A few years ago, I stumbled upon Todd Henry and his podcast. Instantly I was drawn in by his accessible manner, as he painted the picture of what creative burn-out looked like..and it was my self portrait. His emphasis on "filling your tank" with artistic input before you even begin expelling your creative output, changed my entire perspective of the process.

This book, How To Be Brilliant At A Moment's Notice is not only the compilation of the Accidental Creative's brilliant, prolific and healthy golden nuggets but reveals to you what's at the core of your blocked and frustrating creative moments. And then helps you create workable resolutions. I am thrilled to say that it exceeded all expectations that I had. It is the essential user's manual for any creative! If your creative outlook was impacted by Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art" then this book will blow you away.

I swear; your book "Making Things Move"&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Making-Things-Move-DIY-Mechanisms-for-Inventors-Hobbyists-and-Artists/dp/0071741674/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Making Things Move DIY Mechanisms for Inventors, Hobbyists, and Artists</a>&nbsp;just PULLS the creative energy out of me! I'm an unemployed telecom worker and while things are not looking good on the job front, I get the feeling that I'm on the verge of some great invention every time I read part of your book!  I may never actually make that great invention but your book gives me inspiration and HOPE that all is NOT lost! Thank you for writing it and (sincerely) Bless you!

Post Script: You are and will remain one of the top 5 most influential people in my life! (and I was born in the 50's!)

I'm not very good at sewing--especially not from scratch--and I had recently noticed my lack of inspiration when it comes to making something new. But this book has breathed new life into my creative spirit! It has given me lots of ideas, and the fact that I can use existing items in my closet instead of having to make things from scratch is going to help a lot.
