How It All Works

If you’re reading this page, chances are high that

1.You wish you could start creating (again)

OR

2. You’d like to go deeper/get bolder with your work, really develop your voice, take chances, and feel confident in your work

OR

3. You’d really like to take your creativity to the next level and make your creativity of part of the way you make your living.

Because even if it’s been a long time since you made anything, you’d still like to create work you feel proud of. And, truth be told, perhaps even have your own show one day at a local gallery or start your very own Etsy shop.

To make these things happen, to bring the essential part of you to the foreground of your life requires 3 important things:

  • Structure
  • Support
  • Commitment (to yourself).

These three things help you build and sustain a critical feature of making your artistic dreams come true–creative momentum.

Building and sustaining a creative momentum is what you need if you want art and creativity to be a part of your everyday life. To be an artist, even if you do something else for money.

(Just because you might have to make your living some other way, it doesn’t mean that this artistic, creative, essential core of yourself must be sidelined or marginalized.)

So whether you’d be happy to just feel good creating things again or you’re ready to really up the ante for the Etsy store or a one woman show you’ve always dreamed of, Make Great Stuff can help make it happen.

Structured Support

Everything I choose to offer here on my site is designed to provide you with this crucial structured support so you don’t have to feel like your flapping in the wind on your own trying to get back to your creative self.

And when you feel the relief of support, it’s easier to start working on your self-confidence and to start seeing the belief patterns that keep you down, make you doubt yourself and your skills, or succumb to your inner critic.

As part of that process, every Make Great Stuff blog post is dedicated to helping you start creating again with a combination of concrete tips and ideas and explorations of the heavy feelings and confusing emotions that can come up when we dare to create.

I also recommend that you buy a timer and start using my 20 Minute Technique. It’s THE way to start building a real creative momentum–it’s a do-able, real world method of helping you insert and assert your creativity into your already insanely busy schedule.

Using the 20 Minute Technique is such a simple, practical DOABLE way back to your creativity, that I can’t recommend it enough. TRY IT! IT WORKS!

I also teach a powerfully effective  Creative Breakthroughs Collage Tele-Class every week where I guide you through the process of making 2-3 collages at once using simple technique that provides enough structure to free you from self-censorship while still leaving plenty of room for your own unique creative expression.

This class will help you start creating again right away, break out of a creative rut, take artistic risks, and HAVE FUN–it’s a fantastic way to get your creative groove back.

And now, your first Creative Breakthroughs Tele-Class is FREE–so you can find out for sure if this class is for you.

All you need to do is subscribe to my blog (that little form in the right side bar–up there right below the banner).

But why not watch the video first to see what it’s all about.

More cool tele-classes and e-courses like this are in the works–practical, concrete pathways to being creative in the busy life you have right now.

In addition, I offer a several different kits and videos that are designed to boost your confidence, teach you something new, and get you excited to be creating more often.

All of these things combined will help you bring this essential aspect of yourself back into your daily life again. And your self-confidence will increase and you’ll feel more connected to yourself, your loved ones and the world around you.
