"You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club."
Jack London


Hello from Anne and Helen at Creations Unlimited LLC! We've shared some of our favorite tips to get and stay motivated to keep creating. Read on!

Motivation Magic

• Warm up with a small project that you can easily complete for quick results and tons of motivation to continue working.
• Try a cool new tool or technique and see where it takes you.
• Increase your repertoire by your actions, creating your form of art, as much and as often as possible. Keep it up and one day you, and others, will realize that you have developed a certain style. It will seem to have emerged as effortlessly as the sun comes up in the morning.
• Watch how small children play. They discover new and exciting things out of ordinary surroundings. They see what is in front of them, sticks, rocks, grass, flowers, water, dirt, leaves, living creatures. Their imagination soars. You see things too, but also in sensory ways such as textures, shapes, colors, fragrance, sounds, poetry.
• Drive somewhere special, or travel to a city or an area you have never been before. Sketch or note what you like about it.
• Fill your tank with inspiration: attend a farmer’s market, local festival, art show, library, or museum. Enjoy the visual feast. Read books and magazines. Load up on themes, trends, and excitement to keep up-to-date and fresh.
• Before you retire for the evening, prepare your workspace for the next day. Keep your supplies handy, your paint box full, paper at the ready, and sharpen your pencil.
• Ready, set, go! Jump in. Create something new to offer the world. You have as much time in a day as anybody else. Use it wisely. Write an appointment for your work in your planner, and then keep it. Get it done.
• Remember that you are not alone. Artists of all kinds all over the world are creating something new this very minute. Play music for company, take a class in person or online, work with someone on a project, or show your work to a supportive friend or family member for inspiration, feedback, and a new perspective.
• Go in the direction of your dreams. Trust your heart in your work. Immerse yourself in the adventures of creation and offer the world your best, most awesome work yet!
