Books and blogs to check out

The art experiments haven't been too successful lately. I figure I'd opine on some of the blog links and some of my favorite books instead. I am currently reading a wonderful book authored by Rice Freeman-Zachary titled "Creative Time and Space: Making Room for Art." If you are like me and have been trying to make room in your head and your living space for your creativity, then this is the book for you. Trying to be an artist, parent, homemaker, etc., is difficult enough in this world. There are no instructions on how to juggle all of your life's interests and pursuits. But this book comes really close to giving you actual instructions on how to accomplish it! In fact, if there are two must have books in your library, this book and Rice's other book, "Living the Creative Life" are the ones you should purchase.

In case you want more information about Rice Freeman-Zarchary books, art, life and a look at the awesome woman herself, check out her blog, Notes from The Voodoo Cafe. This is a woman who lives life out loud and creatively. You should also check out her interviews of other artists in the magazine, Somerset Studio. They are insightful and constructive.
