  10. LaurieJay says:

    Nathalie, you already turned me into a spray maniac. Are you trying to turn me into an ink maniac now? Thanks for the chance to win this prize. Besides your blog, I love Julie’s blog, Donna Downey’s blog, Quinn McDonald’s blog, and I never miss Tim Holtz’s blog. These are just a few of the many I’ve bookmarked. I like blogs with frequent posts. No matter how much I love a person, if they rarely blog, or only blog a few times a month, it’s disappointing.

  11. There are so many….Effy Wild, iHannah, Daisy Yellow, Jennibellie, Diana Trout, Julie Balzer……I could go on and on…

  12. Ooh a totally new product for me this time. will have to go check. I usually live Willowing by tam, wild art souls by effy wild, Julie balzer, painyingherselfintobeing by sheri.

  13. Thanks for your very informative video Nat, I haven’t used Liquitex inks, but like to use a local brand, Matisse, which are also very rich in colour. I have never thought to use them the way that you have demonstrated, so thanks so much for the inspiration. Blogs that I often go too are Rachel Griegs at Darkroomdoor, Donna Downey, Julie Fei-fan Balzer and Tim Holtz.

  14. Thanks for the tutorial. Never have played with Liquitex but they look like a lot of fun. Some of the blogs I follow (apart from yours): Alisa Burke, Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, Ronda Palazzari, “Papillon sur la branche”, the Kathryn Wheel, Cynkowe Poletko, … and a few more of wonderful mixed media artists.

  15. There are SO many blogs; Finnabair, Irene Tan, Heather Jacob…

  16. Lots and lots but some favs are Finnabair, Ink on my fingers, Yours Artfully, Leandra Franich, A splash of colour and Tim of course! to name a few.

  17. So fun! That technique will be so fun for my Artist Trading Cards. Thanks so much for sharing. My favorite blogs are Paper Phenomenon and Rebecca Sower. And this past week since finding Creative Jumpstart I have discovered so many new and inspiring blogs including yours

  18. Gayle Richmond says:

  19. There are so many great blogs out there. A few that I enjoy are: yours Nat, Dina Wakely, Julie Balzer, Nic Howard, Prima, and Christy Tomlinson. I have a few of the Liquitex acrylic inks and would love a seat in your class to learn how to use them.

  20. Thank you for sharing the ideas with alcohol inks. I’ve never used them.
    Of course is your blog very inspirating, Willowing, Donna Downey, and many many others but not time enough to see it daily.

  21. Christy Tomlinson and Donna Downey…and so many on this jumpstart!

  22. I love this kickstart! I signed up last year too, and I get so many ideas. I also follow Julie Balzer and Donna Downey. I love what they do with colour.

  26. Johanne L. says:

    There are a lot of wonderful blogs. It’s difficult to name them all but I like Julie Fai Fan Balzer, ContadinaK, Rachel , Rhonda Palazzari, Jann Gray. There is a lot of inspiration on the internet. Unfortunitely, I don’t have a lot of time to read all of them, but when I can, I read some. Thanks for the chance,

  27. Stéphanie says:

    Donna Downey and Christy Tomlinson !!

  28. I am more and more gravitating to blogs that have video tutorials!

  29. missmelissaw says:

    What a cool technique with that photo! One of my most inspiring blogs to read is usually Heidi Kelley’s. I just love what she does and how she sees things!

  30. I love blogs and have often wanted to start one myself but not really sure how or what to do – I will create one someday. I really like Karen Ellis, Donna Downey, Finnibair, Brijit Koopsen and of course Nat’s site. All are amazing and I have learned so much and get links to other designers and artists.

  31. Yvonne Williams says:

    I love how you painted the photo. I had never heard of acyrlic inks before, but love how you used them/ I love to follow The next best thing by Lynne. Cat’s blog now that I found it, and yours. So fun. I have beenworking in my art journal now and am soooo happy. Thank you.

  32. I have to admit that I do not now much about blogs… I have now started to look into it a little bit with this CJS and all the links it provides to blogs. I have looked into your ‘The Whatevers’ project, I find it lovely and likely will give it a try! Thanks for those wonderful ideas and techniques!

  33. I follow many many blogs. All of them inspire me every day.

  39. Gerd Andersson says:

    Thank you so much for this video lesson! Great idea! As I’ve a large archive of bl/w photos from my relatives, this is something I’ll try out next! Actually, I don’t follow a special blog. When I need inspiration I’ll go to my fav at Pinterest. But when I find inspiration in a blog I’ll of course ad it to my favourites and go back when I search for something special!

  40. I hate to admit I follow alot of blogs….. I am in the Technique Junkies and Blog most of my cards, I am in a Blogging group at SCS and I am in a couple of Yahoo groups Oriental Art and Michael Strong….. My favorite blogs are in my SCS blogging group- because we chat and are very friendly. I have met another DT member from Technique Junkies- Hetty- who is from the Netherlands while she was in the USA…the world gets smaller all of the time. I am dabbling in Art Journaling, so Julie B., Donna Downey (who I had the pleasure of taking a class with), Christy Tomlinson- I want to take the She Art class….. (After your Pan Pastel class….)… Lisa Somerville, Debie Olsen, Juliet A…and many more….. I have not seen these inks with the eye droppers- and like the idea of painting with them…..

  41. I don’t follow any blogs yet but after reading the comments there are definitely many I will be looking into.

  42. I read a lot of scrapbooking blogs, stephanie Howells, dear Lizzy, studio calico, kelly purkey, the art house studio and my local scrap stores. Just starting to play in mixed media!

  43. I generally read tim Holtz and Jullie Balzer blogs

  44. I’d love a chance to wn a space in your class! The blogs I learn the most from right now are http://getthejclook.blogspot.ca/ and http://kraftykarens.blogspot.ca/

  45. Great video Nat! My favorite inspiring blogs are yours, Balzer designs, Dina Wakley, Donna Downey, Ronda Palazzari, Daisy Yellow, Kristal Norton, Diana Trout and Kelly Kilmer. Thank you for the chance.

  56. Valerie Bullock says:

    I am rather new to the blog-following world but have stumbled upon a few that I find inspiring – Christy Tomlinson, Donna Downey, Tim Holtz and Julie Balzer.

  57. i keep eyeballing those inks and wonder how to use them, there’s one….many more i”m sure

  59. Maria del Carmen says:

    Great idea with acrilyc inks, thanks for sharing Nath!

  60. Tina Walker says:

    Balzer Designs is very inspiring! Also, just purusing magazines and internet boards provides a lot of inspiration too.

    Enjoyed the video, thanks! The most inspiring blogs I read are journalgirl.com, http://ashleyannphotography.com/blog/, http://blogdelanine.blogspot.com/?m=0 With CJS, I have added a bunch of new blogs to look at and enjoy.

  62. Thanks Nat – these inks look great! There are SO many blogs out there…I follow Tim Holtz, Finn, Donna Downey and a few others, but mostly I love to just browse through the thousands of fabulous blogs out there, clicking on links as I go and discovering millions of creative people 🙂 There are some fantastic links rght here in these comments – thanks everyone 🙂

  63. I like Kate Crane, Dyan Reaveley& kaz Hall amongst others.

  64. Amy Malla says:

    I am new to all this and dont have a lot of time to follow blogs. I follow yours, Tim Holtz, Donna Downey, Ink Stains, and a few others. Thanks for all your great techniques.

  65. Of course I am a reader of the n*studio blog but I also like to follow Shimelle, Studio Janine, Tim Holtz, Dina Wakely, Christy Tomlinson, Claudine Hellmuth, Alissa Fast, … just to name a few.
    What I would really love to know: Where do you get those acrylic inks? Nathalie uses them a lot and I always admire what she does with it but I have never seen these inks in the stores.

    • brandinav says:

      Sabine – I get mine at Michael’s Arts & Crafts. I usually only buy them when on sale and almost every visit I find a new color in clearance for under $2! Not on clearance they run around $6-7 I think.

  66. Thank you for this cool vid 🙂 I really like http://goannafive.blogspot.com.au/ she does lots of cool and different stuff 🙂

  67. Toni Hinchcliffe says:

    Well, I follow a bunch of blogs via Google Reader. I would have to say some of my favorites are Donna Downey, Dina Wakely, and Christy Tomlinson. Also Once Upon a Sketch and The Shabby Tea Shop.

  68. Oooh, I’d love a chance to take this class! I only “follow” a couple of blogs – several of those already mentioned, like Balzer Designs. And I love seeing questions like this, because now I have a huge list of new blogs to visit, thanks to all the comments!

  69. Oh, my gosh, I see a whole bunch of new blogs I’ll have to check out!
    I have about 30 blogs on my faves list, and then I surf and look at images on google searches mostly…Most of the blogs I follow regularly are on these comments, but here’s a few I didn’t see up on the list so far:

    http://campfirechicblog.blogspot.com/

    xoxo

  70. ich mag viele bloggs, bei mir geht es Phasenweise, ganz lange war es Tim Holtz, dein Blogg, Janna Werna, Heidi Swapp… Steffi (http://creativebysteffka.blogspot.se/) und viele mehr…

  71. Oh my, what a difficult question! There’s so many of inspiring blogs! I shall say the first that came to my mind: Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, Janna Werner and some manufacturer’s blogs, like the ColorConspiracy and Sodalicious. And yours, of course! 😉

  72. I love Ink on My Fingers blog (with Hels Sheridan) and Tim Holtz’ blog.

  73. Every video I’ve watched so far shows me just how much I’ve been living in a creative shell. Can’t wait to try using acrylic inks on photos! … As far as favorite blogs, I seem to go in phases. I have esp. enjoyed Tim Holtz and Heidi Swapp at various times. My fav non-scrapbooking/altered art blog; however, is Pioneer Woman. I love the way she lives to enjoy life.

  74. I LOVE Donna’s and LOU’s!!! both here to inspire us too! Got to get some of those acrylic inks!!!

  75. I read a lot of blogs!!!! Some of them are Nathalie’s blog, tim Holtz, Dona Salazar, Dina Wakley, Graphic 45 blog (gorgeous), and more more more. Now Pinterest is another great palce to inspiration!

  76. Those acrylic inks look great. I’ve tried cheating on this technique en watered down my acrylic paints. You’ve guessed it… it’s not the same. 😉
    Although I try to keep a blog myself, I am not much of a blogreader. There is one blog though that I just have to read regularly. It’s by belgian writer/cartoonist Eva Mouton. Here blogs always make me smile. She has a funny way of pointing out the absurdities in everyday life. Especially those little sort of embarrassing, akward-like situations that we all find ourselves in from time to time. They seem to happen to Eva all the time, and I love how she turnes them into a joke and gets on with it. It reminds me that I should do that too. Does that make sense?
    Anyway, I love her blog: http://evamouton.wordpress.com/ (sorry it is not in english)

  77. omg Nat..L O V E D this video ! I love Julie Balzer blog, Ronda P., Catherine S. (new 🙂 Donna Downey, …I search youtube and yours ofcourse ! THANK YOU once again for the inspiring jump starts and all you do to put this together for us…

  78. These are my scrappy idols
    http://louise-justloolabelle.blogspot.com.au/
    http://emisjustagirlwithideas.blogspot.com.au/
    http://startingtoscrap.blogspot.com.au/

    and this girl just makes me smile…always…and sometimes laugh out loud!
    Honestly, she is soooo lovable, and colourful!
    http://colormekatie.blogspot.com.au/

  79. thanks for the chance! i follow many inspiring blogs – for example alisa burke!

  80. Sharon van Beek says:

    There are so many inspiring blogs! Some of them are from Tim Holtz, Mary Ann Moss, Traci Bautista, Sharon Boggon.

  81. I love heading straight to the manufacturer’s blogs such as Prima, 7 Dots Studio, Sizzix because their DT have a variety of different styles so you have all this amazing talent and tutorials in one spot plus links to the DT blogs for more inspiration 🙂

  82. Well, Nathalie, I am finding your blog to be more inspiration as it has been with the partnership of Julie on the second floor push your techniques. Julie FFB, Geninne Zlatkis, Tim Holtz, Selvedge Magazine, the jealous curator, dottie angel, the artroom plant…….there are so many.

  83. Well actually i don`t have much time to see blogs, but i find most inspiring Cuchy’s. And i`d like this prize cause i’ve got a lot to learn. Thanks a lot

  84. wow! I have so many inspirated bloges, bu t first of all is Anuszkowekreacje, and Lookarna, and UKHGallery. Thanks for tutorial 🙂

  85. I will be going over these comments to see where I too can grab some inspiration! I don’t visit blogs for inspiration, I scope Youtube!

  86. Oh this is a wonderful tutorial. I have always wanted to add color to my black and white photos….I just did not know how to do it. Thanks so much for this tutorial Natalie.

  87. I don’t really have an inspiring blog but I do love to find new ones that always exciting. Of course I always enjoy yours 🙂

  88. The most inpiering blog right now? Thats not an easy ansvar to that.. But I have just discovered http://agnieszka-scrappassion.blogspot.no/ 🙂 and here I found many cute details that inspired me ❤

  89. Looking forward to getting my hands on some Liquitex acrylic inks now! Thanks Nat!!! I don’t have a lot of time for blog surfing, but one blog I really do like here in Australia is one of the scrapbooking wholesalers, Aussie Scrap Source. Not only do you get to see a wide variety of products used, but the designers (including Lou Nelson!!) working for Aussie Scrap Source are incredibly talented and differ vastly in their styles and techniques. Its my one stop inspiration spot!!!! 🙂

  90. My favorite blogs are those of :
    – Donna downey
    – Christy Tomlinson

    – Danita Art

  95. Hi Nat, thanks a lot for this opportunity, two of my favourite blogs are written by Amy Tangerine and Anna Maria Horner – who is not a scrapbooker but a great designer, also I follow once a week a couple of Italian scrapbooker – Lory Bucaria and Giuly Primavera.

  96. Thanx for the wonderful tutorial!! I am also reading a lot of blogs. Among my favorites are “die Scrapperin”, “meine Scrapbook-Werkstatt”, “Daphniedesign”, “Cat Scanlon”, “Anna Björklund” and yours!

  97. Thanks for the info about acrylic inks. I follow a number of blogs, mostly from supply sources such as Artists Cellar and USArtQuest.

  98. While I have used acrylic paint to hand tint some B&W photos as Christmas presents (Waaaayyy back in my poor college student days!) I have never played with acrylic inks – definitely would like to try my hand at it again 🙂 Blogs I read – are Nadia Cannizzo , The Feathered Nest, Prima, Swirlydoos and A Random on Purpose Life to name a few and I follow many more folks on FB.

  99. Miriam Prantner says:

    Another great jump start! I read a lot of blogs, lots of different types of artists/techniques. I really enjoy Ronda Palazari, Julie Balzer, Jennifer McGuire, Papercraft Planet for their Dreamweaver stencil tutorials, etc.

  100. helen markee says:

    inspiring blogs: your, of course, tim holtz, cat scanlon, the craft gentleman

  101. I like to read blogs that are from my favorite scrapbooking products and prior to all the new great blogs Ive just discovered recently by signing up for this Jumpstart series, I would be greatly inspired by blogs from people like Rach0113 (artful evidence), & Anna Debrowska, Pinterest!

  102. Angela Campbell says:

    I like to read about the products that I have on hand and learn new ways to use them. I feel inspired to use the products that have enticed me and are waiting to be used.

  103. I love to read the following blogs: BG ; Prima; http://nathaliesstudio.com/ ; http://jannawerner.de/ ; http://meine-scrapbook-werkstatt.blogspot.de/ and so many more

  105. Well your of course!!! Any blog usually has something to inspire me 🙂

  106. Withalittlesmile is one of my all time favourites!

  107. jacquerose says:

    I read so many blogs that it is difficult to choose one, but I enjoy Tim Holtz for a lot of inspiration. I follow a lot of the blogs that have been mentioned, and I am happy that now I follow yours!

  108. conlin664 says:

    I love Julie Fei-Fan Balzer’s blog and the Gelli Arts blog!

  110. Lyn Firth says:

    I am not much of a blog reader. I have started reading yours Nat, and periodically read Dina Wakley & Julie Balzar. Thanks for the video – would love to win this prize!

  111. Love the video and coloring old images. Will definitely need to invest in these inks… Beautiful vivid colors!!!

  112. Lynn Aldous says:

    I don’t really like to read blogs much. However, I do enjoy the one from Marco’s Paper, because it is informative, funny and somewhat personal. Not just trying to sell me something.

  113. Wow, where to start: balzer designs, faber castell design memory craft, crafters workshop, dinastamps, donna downey, robenmarie, all come immediately to mind.

  114. donna joy says:

    Seth Apter (the altered page) and roben-marie smith are two favorites right now. had not seen these inks before so thanks for the intro!

  115. That is a totally cool technique. I’ll have to keep an eye out for those inks and give it a try.

  116. Neat technique! I have some of the metallic acrylic inks, and some india inks. I would love to learn some techniques on how to use them! I hope I win the class!

  117. The most inspiring blog I am reading right now belongs to Jim, The Gentleman Crafter.
    http://thegentlemancrafter.blogspot.com/
    His projects are MORE than inspiring!

  118. Well just found you since starting Jumpstart so shall continue to follow along with some of the artists featured onhere. I visit so many great blogs via WOYWW. Anne x

  119. Because I only recently stopped designing for 10 companies, I am new to the mixed media world (6 months) so I start at one blog and look at the comments and go to that person’s blog and look at their comments and go to that top blog and look at their comments and go to that person’s blog. This way, I am sure to get a really ecclectic view of mixed media sites. I have my favs (christy, roben-marie, willowing, but i would have to say all the new ones i see every day are all my favs as well because i learn new things from each and every one. I cant seem to stay with one “fav” because it limits me. I want to, as I always have, keep expanding and growing in whatever I do… Lovies, Samara

  120. Thank you Nat, great ideas for the inks. My favorite blog(s) is Mo Manning, Anna’s and Lindsay Olstrom.

  121. I have wanted to try adding color to vintage photos; thank you for sharing this technique for doing it! Some of my favorite blogs are Julie Balzer, Daisy Yellow, April Cole, iHanna, and Alisa Burke. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

  122. I don’t have a lot of time to read blogs 😦 but I do get to Tim Holtz’s whenever I have a few minutes. I also read my friend Deb Kindel’s blog — she does a lot of cool stuff and enters challenges; she’s very talented. Google her!

  123. mieke caspers says:

    I read several blogs from Netherlands, england and america.

  124. …besides Nathalie’s, I love the blogs of Donna Downey,Julie Balzer, Ronda Palazarri and Christie Tomlinson.I’m always looking for blogs from Sew Somerset publications as well.

  125. I follow Ali Edwards; Tim Holtz; and Ronda Palazarri as well as others. I am now following Dina Wakely
    I have never used these inks but there are definite possiblities
    thanks for the fun

  126. Nat, thank you for sharing this great technique. I only have 3 inks, but have had all the other colors on my wish list for a while.They are such a great addition to our colored media collection; so concentrated and vibrant, yet easily diluted for a different effect. I love the way they look in art journals and art canvases. Thank you for the opportunity to win a seat in your class. It would be great to learn more acrylic ink techniques. I truly don’t follow any blogs on a daily basis, but do enjoy occasionally checking in on a few: Sparkletart (Kate Palmer), Gulfsprite (Christie Sobolewski), Donna Downey, Teesha Moore, JournalArtista (Paula Phillips), Dina Wakely, Julie Balzer, Dyan Reavely (sorry, I’m sure there are many I’m leaving out!).

  127. I have many favorite blogs on my computer http://tworzysko.blogspot.se/ iIs one off them. I love here work with Stempunk!

  128. I adore working with the beautiful papers geared to scrapbooking, especially Graphic 45 so two of my favorite blogs are annes papercreations and the gentleman crafter.
    I guess I’m more crafty than arty but that’s why I’m here, to experiment and to learnl

  129. Again; a very nice tutorial!
    I especially liked the titel: They lived in colours too. I’m sure I am gonna lift the titel someday 😉
    Than for your question… To be honoust I don’t really follow blogs. Although I do tend to read Donna Palazaris a lot
    🙂

  130. Rhonda Zamora says:

    I like n*studio, Blazer Designs, Christy Tomlinson, Junelle Jacobson, Inkstains with Roni, 2 Gypsy girls, and Many many others.

  131. Debbie Pettit says:

    So many inspiring blogs out there…besides Nathalie’s, I love the blogs of Donna Downey, Dina Wakely, Julie Balzer, Kate Crane, Dyan Reavely, Teesha Moore, and Christie Tomlinson. I seem to discover more each day and I’m going to check it some of the others mentioned in these posts.

  132. All Things Paper, Confessions of a Ribbon Addict, Hero Club, Paper Pursuits, Stacy Cohen, and blogs by my scrappy friends that I have met through the years.

  133. some of my favorite blogs are by Barbara at Joggles, Tim Holtz, Joanne Sharpe, Danita, definitely Kimberly Kelly Santini, Jodi Ohl. But this daily jump start has been wonderful, because even if I was familiar with one of the techniques, it was inspiring to see someone else work with it and it motivated me to work on something, anything, to just keep myself creating. I work full time and spend many hours with dance students in evenings and weekends, so it doesn’t leave me with much time to paint or glue and squeegee, so having these mini workshop bites is a treasure, and I am grateful to be a recipient, and appreciative of everyone’s efforts which help keep me on track!

  134. Tonya Love says:

    I am inspired by so many creative blogs! To name a few, Heidi Swapp, Daisy Yellow, Balzer Designs and Noel at Paper, Passion & Pixal mania!

  138. I read Tim Holtz, Simon Says Stamp challenges, and all the gals that participate in the challenges.

  139. Cindy from Holland says:

My most inspiring blog? Honestly, it would be yours first Nat. it always has been … that and your newsletters with your guests. After that it is just what I’m in the mood for … paper arts or mixed media.

  203. Evelyn Johnson says:

    I’m dating myself with this comment, but I remember hand coloring B&W photos when I was a teenager. I think I still have one of my HS photos I hand colored. Forgot about the technique, but it’s great for adding just a splash of one color to a photo if you don’t want to color the entire photo.

  208. I find all blogs are inspiring, I couldn’t narrow it down to one thanks for the chance to win

  209. I read way too many blogs. Most of the blogs have to do with stamping and paper crafting. Often I get ideas from what others have done but not necessarily using the papers and products that they did. Just started reading Art From The Heart. I love Moxie Fab World. Lots of inspiration there and Cath often has notes on why something is fabulous.

  210. I love being inspired by the blogs of people like Dina Wakley, Donna Downey, Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, Roben-Marie Smith, and of course you Nat ;-). I especially love following the blogs of artists that share techniques.

  211. Heidi Swapp and the girls at eighteen25.

  217. Janet Kearney says:

    Don’t follow any blog as such. Just catch the random one from links off face book or Pinterest.

  218. mieke caspers says:

    I follow several blogs that are made by different people who do art journal.

  219. I woke up cynical today. Interesting how most, if not all, of the favorite blogs listed here are trying to sell you something. I made a recent discovery that’s been a real wake-up call. It seems, the art I was making before I entered the craft world blog-o-sphere, was better and more original than it is now. I need to spend less time on the computer and more time just making art. I started blogging at the beginning of the year, hoping to connect with other artists, with similar interests. I don’t expect I will continue with this for much longer because I don’t expect I’ll ever make the connections I was hoping for. I make art for the pure joy of it and it seems many out there (in the US, anyway) have made a career out of making art so they can enter it into a drawing so they can win craft products (yes, I’m guilty). Also, have you ever read the comments made about each other’s work? Everything is always fabulous, wonderful, brilliant, clever, etc., etc., and you know what? It’s not always that good. I would rather participate in a forum where we can offer suggestions or helpful advice so we can improve our craft. And one last point, for anyone out there who thinks their work is not good because it’s not a copy cat version of someone else’s–you just haven’t found your own voice yet. Loose the blog world and you’ll probably find it.

    • Sorry you woke up in a cynical mood this morning. I personally enjoy learning about new products and seeing how different products are used and have never felt pressured to buy anything from the blogs I read. I wish people would offer more constructive suggestions on my blog but I will settle for fabulous,wonderful,etc.

  220. mieke caspers says:

    I follow the blog from Kate Crane, Pam Carriker, Natalie Malik. I also follow other blogs from al sort of people.

  221. Linda Brouwer says:

  223. Awesome technique! I would love to take your class. I saw those inks just the other day in a store but didn’t get any since I didn’t know how to use them. I follow your blog regularly as well as Finnbair’s, Tim Holtz’ and a couple of others. And during the CJS I found a lot of new blogs to follow.

  224. I first fell in love with the liquitex inks from Christy Tomlinson. I would really love to learn so much more from your class. Thanks for th e opportunity to win!

  225. Tim’s blog was probably the first I followed closely. I also really like One Lucky Day, Donna Downey, Karen Ellis and Finnabair … and of course, it goes without saying, you Nathalie! CJS will make my list grow – thanks for bringing us so many more artists to inspire us.

    Would love to park my “seat” in your class! My brayer just got a workout Friday and Saturday after seeing how easy it is to create texture! I know there is so much to learn!! My computer time is spent looking and learning – you!! Ronda Palazzari, Dina Wakley, Donna Downey, the beautiful Birgit, and our New Yorker…Julie Fei Fan Balzer!

  299. Such a cool technique—I would NEVER have thought to paint on a photo! I am going to try this with a B&W photo of my grandkids, when they are wearing a color totally wrong for my page! Thanks for another great idea, Nat!
    One question: must I use liquid acrylics, or can I use my tube acrylic paints and just water them down?

    • Oh, and I forgot: my fave blogs are ones that give me great ideas! I don’t generally follow specific blogs, but hop around as I want. I am new to mixed media, so I don’t follow the ones mentioned here in other posts (except for Tim’s of course…..EVERYONE looks at Tim’s posts!), but I am now going to check out the rest!

    Love your use of colour…you are so full of abandon and joy when you create!! I follow your blog and Julie and Dina and Anna and Dyan and am discovering so many more here at Creative JumpStart! I am now chastising my bully spellcheck because I spell colour with a “u” and always will…LOL!!!

  315. Dale Rose says:

    I love to read the Gentleman Crafter’s blog and Julie Balzar’s blog. They both do different kinds of art, but all of it inspires me to be more creative.

  316. here are so many and I am finding new ones every day, but I always go to Artsyville and Jessica Sporn.

  317. Kristina Perez says:

Will try that next.Thanks so much.

  342. Thanks Nathalie for another wonderful technique! Everyday I visit many blogs and now because my increasing interest in Mixed Media I read yours, Julie Balzer and Finnabair.

  343. Theresa. H says:

    Hi Nathalie. I hadn’t heard of acrylic inks before Creative jumpstart. Now, if course I have to have them. Would love to win a class from you on how to use them. So onto the question. Well I follow so many inspirational blogs it’s hard to name a few, but I learn so much from yourself (Nathalie’s studio – even though I have only just found you through these workshops), Dina Wakley (Ponderings), Tworzysko Finnabair, Dyan Reaveley (Dylan’s blog) & of course Tim Holtz.

  344. very nice !!!!

  345. As many others i am inspired by quite a few artists how are all very kind to share. To name a few: Linda from yoursartfully, Leandra from paperartsy and Anneke from somefiddlingonthekitchentable.

  346. At this moment the blog of Donna Downey inspires me the most. I love what she’s making, love her humor and it is always fun to see here movies.

  347. Birute Pilipaitis says:

    Well, I read your blog, of course! But other blogs that inspire me include Kelly Kilmer, Pat Pitingolo (Lost and Found), Julie Prichard, Traci Bautista and many more. I think I spend too much time on the internet!

  348. Well, apart from YOU and N*STUDIO… wow how generous you are with how much you share and teach… How much do I love Julie Fei Fan Balzer!!! So inspiring… oh, and I cannot forget the beautiful Donna Downey, the first mixed media artist I ever came across… Inspiration Wednesdays are a must for our whole family! Kelly Rae Roberts is another fave read, and source of inspiration, and such great inner beauty. I adore Milliande, and the gorgeous Jane Davenport – my fellow Aussie! There’s also Rachelle Panagarry and her ArtEyeCandy! Suzi Blu… oh my goodness – love love love. She’s incredible. Jamie Dougherty – freak or what!!! She’s amazing. So talented! And of course FINNABAIR… Anna’s art is wow!!! Effy at WildSoul, Karen Ellis – her business page, does that count as a blog??? lol… and Catherine Scanlon – what a jewel she is! Paulette Insall… such beauty and grace!

    **I must say, the art community is so loving and generous, and supportive of each other! I am inspired by EVERYONE and their blogs… true story!!! I’m a sponge for art and inspiration, and colour, and life and the freedom I get from it. So so many faves, but these are my faves. Thanks to you all!

  349. andrea young says:

    so many to name just one except maybe leeann pearce’s blog from Australia thepaintbrushgoesspotty she is an amazing artist and i just love her work

  350. Heather P. says:

    It’s hard to pick just one blog, and it’s hard to visit all the ones I love on a regular basis since the list is so long. But I’ve been a long time follower of Kate Palmer b/c she’s such a technique junkie and I really like Faber-Castell’s Design Memory Craft blog. It’s chock full of talented people. Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot in your class!

  351. Nice idea!

  352. I just ordered some of these inks! I have been looking for more tutorials on using the inks and acrylic mediums. Thank you!

  353. Barbara Poe says:

    I’m like you. I love Balzer. She is my favorite blog. She is such fun. I envy your friendship with her.

  354. Celeste B. says:

    I don’t think I have one blog in particular. I like to follow all different types of blogs and see different work by people with all kinds of styles.

  355. mmm cannot pick just one, as i do so many different crafts but i love your jumpstart techs 🙂

  356. Mary Werner says:

    Any blog that includes videos can inspire me to recreate something in my own style. Just watching someone “make art” gets my fingers itching to try it. Your Jump Start series is so wonderful to see a sample of many different women and ideas. Thank you so much for all your hard work in getting this together.

  357. Love, Alisa Burke, Nathalie kalbach, Cuchy, and Balzer, Ruth Bernal, Monica Palomero

  358. Lovely video! Thank you!
    Can not pick just one … Have my little list I go through … Some daily and some every now and then … I can admit that the list has grown longer since I have taken part of Creative Jumpstart! 😉

  359. Woh great video!! I would have never thought of using my acrylic ink on photo’s. I’m defenitly going to try it!! Inspiaring pages woh I’ve got a lot to name a few: Jenniebellie’s blog. Mathilda from stampingmathilda, Elizabeth from Alteredbooklover, Geninne, and the list goes on and on. I’ve got a list in my favourites with all my favourite blogssites, including yours 🙂 I visit them 3 ot 4 times a week.

  360. Well one of my favorites is Simple me van Donna Downey and i love the paper artsy blog van Leandra.but I must admit that I learned a lot from many different blogs.
    I love the internet.

  361. Carmen Jimenez says:

    Hello I like to read Alisa Burke and Geninne Zlatkis’s blogs also Seth Apter blog The altered page.

  362. I love so many blogs for inspiration and get such a concentrated boost from you but paperartsy does give so many ideas too. Plus you can’t beat Attic24 for crochet inspiration! I look forward to trying out some of the Liqitex inks … new to me!

  363. scrappinvt says:

    Very cool technique. I have never tried those inks, but i will be getting some soon. Thanks for doing the CJS.

  364. Dee in NH says:

    Wow! I have never worked with these kinds of ink before but I love how it looked when you colored the photo! What a great technique!!

  365. I have to admit that Milliande is one of my most inspiring blogs. She shares almost everything for free including her love of art which is infectious and makes art and creativity accessible – even to those on very limited funds.

  366. I read Mary Corbett needle n thread, Kate palmers sparkle tart, and dion dior’s blogs

Hurrah - you make me happy by leaving a comment! <3 Nat
