Hey there, sometimes having constraints can lead to breakthroughs in your creativity. Contrary to belief while it appears limiting initially, it can foster creativity by forcing you to think outside the box. Embrace limitations as opportunities to discover new solutions. Inspiration Corner: As a pyrography artist, I tend to work only with my wood-burning pen, which only creates different hues in sepia. Sometimes, this can feel daunting, but it requires me to explore different techniques to create my art. I primarily work with wood, but have in the past used leather, and has been a great challenge. My next constraint will be to use canvas for pyrography, and that can be tricky, I look forward to the challenge. When writing a book, there can be time constraints in place, having a deadline makes you sit in the chair to focus and get that book finished. Creative Challenge: Set constraints for your next project. Here’s how:
Resource Recommendation: Read articles on creative constraints. Websites like CreativeBloq and Medium have insightful articles on how constraints can boost creativity. Additionally, books like “A Beautiful Constraint” by Adam Morgan and Mark Barden offer deep dives into this concept. Playing around with constraints can lead to outcomes you couldn’t imagine. Challenge yourself to see limitations as opportunities for growth and creativity. Stay wild-hearted and keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible! Stay wild-hearted! Cheers,
