1. I cultivate inspiration for my creative life by trying to keep my eyes open, and an attitude of learning – and seeing beauty everywhere. This autumn the leaves and light have been so wonderful it’s sometimes dangerous for me to drive! I would absolutely LOVE to be a lucky recipient of this art journal 🙂

5. I cultivate inspiration by turning off the mind chatter about what I think I should create and just breathe in the amazing creative spirit that lives within. Releasing and getting quiet through breathing, writing or nature opens me up to the world!

11. I live across from a nature preserve in the forest and walk there every day with my 2 dogs (sometimes one of my cats will follow me!). Every day I’m grateful I can do this, and every day I’m inspired creatively by Mother Nature and all she provides for me and all her little forest friends. It’s amazing how a simple walk in the woods can make the whole day brighter!

13. Everything inspires me!!! For me, it is more about deciding which inspiration to follow. Nature is hugely inspiring, as are all the beautiful patterns in just about everything my eyes take in – hub caps, buildings, trash cans, trash, birds flying, horses running, dogs sleeping. All of it is so glorious and inspiring and breathtakingly beautiful!! I wish I didn’t have to sleep (although naps are delicious), so I could paint every single thing that inspires me!!

21. I cultivate creativity by painting.. well actually it’s more like messing around with paint, with my 3 yr old toddler, by painting with my 3 month old baby on my arm when inspiration strikes (I have a really strong left arm now). This makes me feel so abundant and rich!
    And I cultivate my creativity by allowing myself to play with creative materials, read childrens books ( love ‘the dot’ ‘ish’ ‘harold and the purple crayons’ ‘the perfect square’ and all those stories that give me permission to be and simply create. To watch the world around me in wonder. And of course by doing ecourses like yours and livestreams by Shiloh Sophia McCloud.

25. I have learnt to cultivate inspiration by noticing the true shapes and colours around me, the details, but funnily enough the more I have come to notice, the more I have realised how little I know, how mistaken I am about overall shapes, let alone details. My little pleasure is to look at the stars, the moon and visible planets at night.

27. How exciting!!!!And thanks for the chance to win one. I am inspired by life…. everything around me gives me inspiration. I recently went through a very long drought of creativity and was becoming depressed over it… I joined the 29 Faces in September and Art Every Day Challenges and had to force myself in the beginning…. now the ideas are flowing and I have to write them all down to remember them…

31. I find inspiration by looking at everyday things in a different way and by collaborating with other artist on projects. And now I just found Tic tac phOto which is a phone app where you can create collaborative photo montage with your friends. Very addictive… and inspiring!

35. I try to get quiet enough that I can just do what comes up and not to censor myself about how I am doing. My inspirations come from being in nature and all the possibilities of colour and form.

37. I cultivate inspiration daily by sitting on my front verandah, (surrounded by trees, and plenty of parrots this time of year) eating my breakfast and observing, no screens of any kind allowed, taking in the ever changing beauty of nature and the interaction of the animals.

39. I would love to win this creative journal! I just signed up for the E-Course because I’m trying to get back my creative impulses. Family issues have consumed me over the last 8 or so years and now, I’m ready to take off. I’m constantly trying to create but seem to be in a rut. Friends don’t think I’m in a rut but they don’t understand the self-doubt that overtakes my process. I’m ready to make a change. So, my inspiration is usually finding a quiet place and dreaming. Thank you.

41. Hey Flora, I am always working on being still and mindful of the current moment. I become very aware and appreciative of all the beauty in every little thing that surrounds me. For me, this kick starts the creative juices.

    I would so love to be one of the lucky winners.

45. I try to get outside as much as possible even in bad or cold weather. Moody days can almost be better. Lots of music and good food. I am working on how to pull it out from myself intuitively. Your journal looks like a perfect aid for that!

47. I have been finding it hard to get creative lately. I’ve been down and just find that I can’t get motivated. The thing that helps me press on is creating something for someone else. It pushes me to start and then I find myself snapping out of my funk! I have your book and these journals look amazing!

49. Being 5 months pregnant and chasing around a rambucious 19 month old boy creates more inspiration than when I was just a lone ranger (well rangerette). Whether it is the joy of feeling this new creation move inside me or watching his big brother run freely around the field by our house, I know now more than ever that there is beauty in each moment.

51. oh, these are absolutely lovely!!

55. Hi Flora and community,

    I cultivate inspiration for creative expression by living in sync with the Moon’s cycles, personal and collective, and with void of course Moon times as well as the sign the Moon is in. This is an internal experience, our Sacred Mother Moon is our primal timer and by living in rhythm with Her, rest is an active process where information seeps into a consciousness that guides and supports creativity. My experience is that the Muse abides within and through our Moon’s Love Light, in all of her changeable facets.

57. I cultivate inspiration by meditating which centers me and enables me to feel with my heart what surrounds me. I also like to feel what it feels like to be… anything really (a rock, a bird, a lamp on the wall, a chair, a tree etc…). I also like to “take out” one of my senses. For example, in a place that I know so well that I am not conscious of anymore, I create experiences: being blind for a day for example or put things in my ears so that I can’t hear a sound for a while and then take them out… then, I can hear a lot of sounds around me that I haven’t notice before!!! I hope you understand what I mean because I am a French speaker!

61. Inspiration is usually something that sneaks up on me when I least expect it. While brushing my teeth, driving my car through the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, which I do A LOT. When I’m looking to cultivate inspiration I usually pick up a book that inspires me to think deeply about the world around me and myself. Something inevitably comes from that place. Thanks for your beauty and inspiration Flora!

69. Dance dance dance, get my free bird flowing and loosen up a little. I dont dance alot in public but I dance constantly while painting.
    I love to take nature walks and stop infront of things and stay for a very big pause and just look and touch everything, textures, pattern and shapes, I feel it helps my mind expand and gives me better ideas and problem solving skills when I get back to creating.
    Cups of tea, great music and cats to kiss and cuddle while they sleep around my work, ohh and the smell of flowers or incese. Just a few. Hmmm never thought of this before 🙂
    thanks xxx

71. I find inspiration by exposing myself to diverse topics. I read everything from technology news and the psychology of human interactions to home decor and gardening. I love when ideas from different areas cross and create something new and innovative. I also can’t go wrong with surrounding myself with nature. A good hike or even sitting on my patio watching the birds in the trees seem to spark inspiration for me.

85. I get inspired in tons of ways. Walks in forests. Early mornings, taking the time to slowly let the day unfold while the city around me is waking up. Playing with children. Cooking. Strolling through libraries and second hand bookstores. Going through blogs of inspired and creative human beings as yourself. 😉 Dancing. Humming new songs. Thinking about the many people I hold dear. Going through boxes with old magazines. And so on. And so on. Thank you for asking… just thinking about all of this has put a huge smile on my face and made my heart warm. Feeling blessed! <3

125. How exciting!!! The Journal is a GREAT idea!
     I cultivate creativity by immersing myself in nature. There is nothing more inspiring than taking a cold, brisk walk in the snow amidst a forest of birch trees! The sound of the snow crunching under foot, the smell of clean air, the sounds of little creatures rustling. It always places me into a magical land of enchantment!

     I am still learning to cultivate my creative life, but my best and favourite thing is to spend time with my child on his level – seeing what he sees and doing what he enjoys.
     More generally, recognising and removing toxicity (whether people, places, or objects) from my space has made a huge difference.

133. I’ve learned to cultivate my time and how I use it; putting art making at the top of the list, sometimes staying with it until the inspiration hits. I keep inspiration folders and use them every week as seeds for painting. Flora, thank you for this opportunity to win! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

155. Great idea and a beautiful prize. This is my answer:

     “When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” – Audre Lorde

     Feeling blocked or stuck without flow breeds fear in me. To cultivate creativity, I must slow it down, even stop everything I’m doing. I breathe. I take time out. I open my body and mind to the bliss around me: nature, creative activities, exercise, writing and journalling, practicing gratitude, music or art like Flora’s, and time with loved ones. I open my body and mind to possibility, vulnerability, timelessness, and the beauty of the world. I stop the rut temporarily and cultivate the creativity bone. I dare to be powerful. And often, it works (but then the process begins again).

     Thank you for your beauty and inspiration as always, Flora.

     With love, Julie

157. I get my inspiration in loads of ways but my favourite is to clean up my studio so it is clutter free, turn up the music and pour out puddles of paint colours “that talk to me” on my palette . by then I cant wait to use my fingers to see what is going to emerge. Just writing this makes we want to go and get started ! Anna x

159. I find inspiration in the most unusual places. When I was first taking your ecourse, I used a lot of motifs from Persian rugs. I’ve always drawn a lot of my creativity from nature, and I still gaze out the window at my garden when getting ready to paint.

161. I cultivate inspiration by being, breathing and living inspiration. I wake up each morning and pray to my angels to show me how can I be kind and compassionate today. I always get presented with a unique way to show kindness and compassion towards others and myself. I believe this is the basis of my inspiration and it creates many miracles in my day. That can come in any form!! Thank you for also inspiring me! Another thing I believe that when we inspire we also give others the permission to do so, creating a huge rippled Inspiration Effect! Beautiful Inspired Energy!

167. I get inspired by going to the library and checking out stacks of books and music…
     from sitting in coffee shops and people watching…
     from escaping to the woods to study different plants/trees/birds and really taking a close look at the intricacies that nature holds…
     I get inspiration from friends who are thought provoking and who challenge my ideas about the world around me.

171. I cultivate inspiration by looking for the good in others. It inspires me to quietly observe people who are so generous and giving of their time, abilities, posessions, without expecting anything in return. They don’t even know they are doing anything extraoridinary! It totally inspires me to be creative, not only in my artwork, but in paying it forward. I begin to look for opportunities to “give” without expecting anything back.

173. Oh how I need this. After a two plus years of neglecting my creativity in favor of work and taking care I others, I am re-dedicating myself to myself. I cultivate my inspiration by submerging into the works of other artists who create things I find beautiful. It puts me in a space of beauty and inspires me to finely my own and bring it into the world. Your lovely book seems like just the catalyst to light my fire once again.

181. Hmm… Great question! I cultivate inspiration through being in awe of my surroundings. It never ceases to amaze me just how much beauty is found in the little things. Beauty that is often taken for granted and passed by during our busy lives. By seeing the world through the eyes of one in awe, inspiration lives all around!

217. I collect my inspiration from looking up at my higher self. I am always meditating and trying to stay grounded while practicing reiki every single day. I ask the universe/my higher self/spirit (whatever you want to call it) for guidance and to help my creativity flow and give me new inspirations and ideas for my art and for my life. I enjoy getting outdoors and just feeling Mother Nature pass through me ..this always makes me feel recharged. Of course you flora, are a huge inspiration to me..if it wasn’t for your intuitive painting demo video I watched way back I wouldn’t have been inspired to start kick my love for painting again. In which I thank you. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be where I am today and I thank my blessings for each step I have accepted into my life to continuously stay inspired and grow.

219. What a great question! Congratulations on the new book and thank you for another great competition and opportunity to win.
     My motivation to create comes from my family, specifically my four month old baby. I have always done art but I have never had such a clear focus until now.
     My inspiration comes from a couple of places. Firstly since finding your page, connecting with your art, and reading your first book, a whole new world has opened up to me. Ive connected with Tamara from Lifebook, Ive started online classes and local classes near me. I feel like Ive found a community of people that are giving, caring, deep thinkers and not trying to hide techniques. These artists, including you Flora, are opening up art to everyone and that is inspiring. I am studying to be an art therapist and know the benefits of art to heal but there is so much resistance to making art in our society as previously it was only for people that have trained in art. This is inspiring to me.

225. After taking Bloom True last year, I started really noticing the world around me. Not just in nature but even in the unnatural like city streets, pan handlers, cars and scooters and bike, etc. Thanks to your guidance, I feel like the entire world can be inspiration if I don’t just look but take the time to really see. I’m also finding new music is very good for my creativity, too.
     peace & love,

     But you have inspired me greatly. Its the way I like to paint now. Its playing and I love it.

299. I feel inspired by color and paper and surround myself with lots of both. I write down my ideas and try to create many of them. I read and collect lots of craft / art magazines and am always inspired by them and get super excited when a creative spark is ignited by something new I’ve learned or read. I love to sit and play, although I sometimes can get overwhelmed. I am evolving and my creativity is too! I love your book and would love the journal too. : )

311. I think inspiration is something thats inside everyone and its a matter of listening to it. From the minute i open the curtains in the morning ,that’s if i closed them at bed time because watching the stars is so amazing and relaxing and awe inspiring. I listen to the songs of my heart to feel the colours i will paint with on any given day. I try to go with the flow and remember a quote my son wrote on my mirror “You Hear The Stream, There is Entry to The Tao”
     Love it. If the Universe helps you to randomly choose my entry i will be forever grateful as i love reading your messages they are very inspirational. Thanks Beverley

     To be honest: I could be inspired by lots of things when I think about it!!

339. Flora, these little goodies are lovely! Journaling in these helpers will inspire the painting process even more and let the creative juices flow… I simply cultivate my inspiration through sketching and taking walks in the nearby parks and woods, allowing myself to take a deep cold breath and simply to listen to the world around me. As I currently live in a furnished flat with stuff that is not exactly my taste, I try to come up with ways to keep the furniture intact but still make it my own, and there is lots of stuff to inspire me about that. Many of the shelves and cupboards over here have fitted, painted papers clued to them.
     Thanks for the chance to win. Have a lovely week! Nancy

341. Pure inspiration for me comes from letting go of everything except colour. Setting aside expectation and letting the paints flow and the colours merge, mingle and collide. This is when painting feels most fun and it’s how I start when I’m feeling stuck. Your approach is hugely inspirational too!

I have been painting with encaustic for the last four years and because of the nature of this medium I’ve learned to let go of outcome and am inspired by the colours of my oil pastel box and the natural findings I collect on my outings.

Thanks for being there for me.

     Other times I limit myself to 2 colours or use colours I don’t like much. It’s amazing how great things can turn out when I limit myself.

     Pinterest, of course, is an obvious one.

371. Hi Flora,
     Love your book.
     I cultivate my creativity in what I think is a unique way. I babysit my baby granddaughter three days a week. Watching the world through eyes that are seeing everything for the first time is truly enlightening. She takes everything in from a story in a book to the call of a crow.
     We spend our days celebrating life and all it’s beauty.
     She is now 15 months old and painting on real canvas.
     She walks on it and plays with her favorite colors. It’s all new and amazing to her and I am fortunate enough to share in it.
     It’s wonderful to be totally and newly in love once again at the age of 62.
     I would love one of your new journals. Thanks for the opportunity.

383. Living in Vancouver, I just have to open my eyes. The mountains just make me in awe of my surroundings. Everywhere I turn there is something inspiring. People often stare at me wondering why I’m taking pictures of things most people ignore, such as a large rock or a bare tree. I see the texture and the different colours and marks. It’s like an abstract painting on its own.

     Also, I cultivate creativity in my children and I often just sit and watch them trying to get into their mode. I want to paint like a child again.
