Review of: Tales from Terri A Disney
Sculptor’s Life, Volume 1
By Terri Hardin
Terri Hardin has
had a rich and rewarding live as a puppeteer, artist, Disney Imagineer and
Disney Collectable Sculptor. In her book, ”Tales from Terri A Disney Sculptor’s
Live, Volume 1” she shares some of her adventure as an artist and how she came
to work for Disney.
What I love about
this book most of all it is it encourages you to be creative. She tells you to
go out and try. Her business cards are inspiration cards not just a way to
share her business contact information.
After telling you
how she walked a Disneyland park attraction to work on her concept for a
collectable piece she asks you to make a list of what characters in that
attraction you would like to see. She asks you to tell her what you would like
to see them doing. She even suggests you draw it, stick figures acceptable!
I love how she
relates her grandfather’s advice, “All men must work for a living. However, a
wise man plays for a living. When you get paid to do what you love, it never
feels like work.” It is obvious she is playing for her living and enjoying
every moment!
I highly recommend
this book for anybody that is creative, looking to find the creativity in
themselves or looking for inspiration and encouragement in their creative endeavors.
I had the pleasure
of meeting Terri at Walt Disney’s Carolwood Barn at a signing event and she is
as energetic and positive in person as she is in the book. Thank you Terri for
coming out to support the Barn!
