Take your show on the road. If you draw mandalas at night before bed, draw at a cafe. If you mostly shoot photos of your kids, photograph iron gates or weathered doors. If guitar is your thing, get friends together to play at your house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use new stuff in a familiar way<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Build on something you know how to do. If you paint flowers with watercolors, paint the same subject with acrylics. Shoot a roll of black + white film instead of digitals. Sketch with thick markers rather than a black pen. Make orange-spiced pecan muffins instead of blueberry-walnut.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use familiar stuff in a new way<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This means playing with your materials! If you know do mono-printing with a rubber brayer, use a brayer to make an art journal background. If you embroider on aprons, try stitching on an art journal page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Explore completely new stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What sparks your curiosity? What would you try if failure was irrelevant, just to try it? If knitting is your passion, experiment by making a bracelet with FIMO polymer clay. If you design digital graphics, try pottery or learn to knit a scarf. If you usually play guitar, try painting with watercolors. For me, freestyle embroidery was intriguing yet out of my comfort zone. You can also pursue this idea by taking a class ~ you can find a course (web or live) in hand dying fiber, photography, photoshop, watercolor, ceramics, jewelry making, sewing, guitar, sculpturing recycled junk, making bread.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read all the posts from <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/daisyyellow.squarespace.com\/vividlife\/category\/experiments\">past Creative Experiments<\/span> on Daisy Yellow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/thatgrrl.com\/site\/index.php\/2013\/daisy-yellows-creative-experiments\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to Daisy Yellow&#8217;s Creative Experiments\"><p>Daisy Yellow is an art journalist with regular posts with Creative Experiments, Kick Start your Art Journal and Art Journalling 101.
