Hey Rebels! Today we chat with Jessica Swift, the women behind pattern camp and the reason Kelly is so obsessed with patterns. We chat with Jessica all about inspiration..finding it, keeping it, and what to do when you don’t have any!
Jessica Swift, a full-time artist, is on a quest to inspire and teach creative people everywhere to pursue their wild + colorful dreams... and never give up. Her magically uplifting, colorful artwork is licensed widely for iPhone cases, fabric, stationery, rugs, and more. Her art and products are designed to serve as tokens of happiness -- reminders that you need (and deserve) to feel GOOD in your life. Her book, The Crafter’s Guide to Patterns, was published in April 2015. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, toddler, and two cats, and you can find her colorfully creating at JessicaSwift.com and teaching at PatternCamp.com.
What to do when stuck: - Start making something, anything to get your mind into creation mode-Just start doodling-Look at old drawings/work/website-Put on some good music-Do something else that is not related to what you need to do
Quote Love From Jessica Swift Morning is my time for inspiration. The creative Muse comes and visits us when we least expect it. You have to cause inspiration to want to come to you.
