Stay inspired every day of the year with this volume of tips, prompts, and insight into maintaining your own creative practice. Regardless of their chosen medium, all artists and crafters share the passion to create and the need for inspiration. Some of us have plenty of ideas for projects yet can't find the time to get started, while others are ready to go—yet can never decide what to make. The Crafter's Devotional offers ways to make your creative process part of your daily life. Rather than offering instructions to follow for a particular project, The Crafter's Devotional combines lessons, quotations, techniques and journaling prompts designed to help you explore and nurture your own creative impulses. Each day of the year is given its own focus, on which the reader will find a dose of inspiration, instruction, or illumination.
