A dozen delicious offerings served up to tempt your artistic palette:

• This article is much longer than what’s usually included in Creative Juice. It’s also the saddest story I’ve read in a long time—and it’s true. But people need to read this.
• Want to make time to be more creative? I participated in the Index-Card-A-Day Challenge last year, and I’m doing it again this year. You can, too.
• This article is a little old (we’re past the end of the coloring challenge mentioned in it), but I love the artwork, so I’m sharing.
• Love coffee table art books? You can enjoy 204 of them for free—virtually.
• Reading list for personal growth.
• Sand scuptures.
• The Garden of Earthly Delights.
• Wouldn’t this be a nice home to own?
• You could totally do this flower pot project.
• I didn’t even know I needed art masking fluid. Now I must have it!
• Have you ever gone through The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron? It’s a 12-week exercise to increase your creativity. I’ve done it once, and I want to eventually do it again. A few years ago I read this related article, and it was so beautiful I saved it. Now I share it with you.
• Reasons to make art, even if it’s not all that good.
