Our next Jump Start is brought to you by USArtQuest
USArtQuest, Inc. began with 2 unique videos and a search for the perfect adhesive. Not satisfied with anything currently on the market, collage artist Susan Pickering Rothamel experimented until an adhesive was developed with all the qualities she was looking for—UV protection, acid-free, archival, non-sticky, non-toxic, and odor-free. The result—Perfect Paper Adhesive™. USArtQuest was formed to market this product and Susan’s instructional videos on collage and assemblage. That was in 1993.Since then, USArtQuest has continued researching and developing new and unusual mixed media art materials. The business quickly outgrew Sue’s home studio and is now located in a wonderful old building of offices and warehouses, in a rural country setting in Grass Lake, MI.

I found out about CJS when I was looking through a number of different blogs on art journaling and art workshops, and at a very opportune time (when I was feeling inspired and not knowing where to physically start), Creative Jump Start popped up! Such great timing 🙂
I heard about the Creative Jump Start Summit 2013 through Ronda Palazzeri’s email newsletter and immediately subscribed. I thoroughly have enjoyed what I’ve been able to watch and read so far, but I am way behind on the feeds. I hope to catch up this week. I discovered Susan Rothamel Pickering first through Carol Duvall’s program in the mid-1990s and immediately became one of her fans. I bought her books and VCRs back then and more recently her DVDs (and, of course, USArtQuest supplies both on-line and at nearby stamping and crafts stores) and remain a devoted fan. Thank you for this opportunity to vie for some of the donated art supplies.

Like anything, once you see it you see it alot! i’ve now noticed that we all (mixed media artists) have put the logo on our blogs and on our art, so it has really good advert. Loved everything so far…can’t wait to see what this one is all about. Very neat story of how the adhesive scouting led to such a company! build the field and they will come….
