thank you for being part of it again!!! YEAHHH!
I love CJS – thanks for doing it another year! Watching that really cool video tells me I need to invest in some spray paints ;)
yeah- so glad you are with us again! there might be some spray paint involved ;) ;)
Those of you who were part of the Creative JumpStart 2013 saw the videos that me and my artist friends posted on my website throughout January 2013. The event was free that year, but the videos are not available here anymore, since CJS 2013 was only available till June, but I thought it would be nice to repost my 10 technique videos over the next couple weeks- so that you have access to them whenever you want and see what CJS 2013 was all about.
And now let’s jump to the video Number 9 in my Über*Media Creative JumpStart 2013 Workshop which was the Gesso Texture Technique 
If you have no external speakers on your pc – turn up the volume a lot (the audio is very low in this video)
CJS 2013 Technique 9 -Gesso Texture from Nathalie Kalbach on Vimeo.
It is only 1 more day till Creative JumpStart 2014 starts. It is the third year CJS is happening!!!
Don’t miss out on this! We have 21 artists, 23 videos with wonderful projects and tutorials, amazing giveaways and an already hopping forum and all that for less than 1Dollar per video (20Dollar for the whole event)! Sign up here !
And here are my supplies I used for the Gesso Texture Video above:
When using the wax crayons are you still able to stick down things like paper, transparency pieces, and tissue paper with gesso or do you need another medium like glue or hot glue
It gets harder of course to adhere the more layers of waxy stuff you have- but you can work on a thinner layer well with Gel Medium – that is your adhesive.
Thank you so much for re-posting your techniques.
I was not in CJS last year, so this is a real treat!!
Can’t wait to be inspired again this year with some wonderful creative types sharing their mojo and techniques.
Question about Creative Jump Starts…is the audio going to be better than the 2013 videos you’ve been sharing? I got so busy that I actually never got to watch last year. So far, I really have not been able to view these…just can’t get enough volume from my iPad. Thanks!
I do think it is better. As for an Ipad- if all works there- I cannot promise you – it is not made for mobile devices. You might be lucky – you might not.
Happy New Year to you too.
Dann rutsch du man auch nicht so doll ins Neue Jahr, wie der Hamburger so sacht ;)) hier gehts ganz sutsche zu, anstoßen mit den Nachbarn, ein bischen Feuerwerk ………………. und die Kinder feirn mit Freunden an der Alster – ich hoffe, sie vergessen nicht, das Feuerwerk zu fotografieren – ein Prost auf ein erfolgreiches Jahr 2014! (nachher dann )
LG Ursula
This is lovely, a really beautiful effect.

As you might have seen I just proposed Creative JumpStart 2014!
It will work slightly different this year and has some major improvements like a forum and an easier access- and I can tell you already the line up of artists and the videos are AWESOmE!!! For 20 Dollars -that is less than 1 Dollar per video (23 videos by 21 artists) it is a great deal! Check out the information here
I would love to have you!

P.S. In Case you signed up and you wonder “What Now?”
I signed up for CJS 2014 – What now? from Nathalie Kalbach on Vimeo.
I have just registered. I am off to the forum now! I can’t wait for the new year to start!
Helpful Video, thanks, Nat. It’s going to so fun!! Great way to Jump-start your creativity for the day.
Only 6 days until Christmas. Need a gift for a creative artist or crafter? You can now give someone a gift certificate to CJS 2014.
Just select the “$20 Gift Certificate” product in the n*Studio shop and check out online. (/shop/gift-certificate/20-gift-certificate/) On the billing and payment page, you’ll find a section to name the person you want to give CJS to. Just enter their name and email address along with a personalized note.
The recipient will then get an email from n*Studio that includes a discount code for anything in the n*Studio shop. If you want to give the gift certificate to the recipient personally- just have it sent to you and you can print it out.
All they have to do then is add Creative JumpStart 2014 to their cart and checkout using the code. And voila, they’re in!
I will also add other gift certificates later today with different values if you want to gift one of my online workshops in the shop.
Wishing you a wonderful day
hugs

[…] can give the gift of mojo for a whole year to a crafter you love (or a dozen of them!)! Just visit Nathalie’s Blog to see how easy it is to give the gift of endless […]
Merry Christmas dear Nat. Looking forward to your workshop.
Hugs, Carole
Joe Rotella was really down when I called him last week – he lost his Mojo – but I had a solution. Don’t give up on the video before you see the bloopers (appr. at 4min)..they have me in stitches every time I see them ;)

Moooojoooo -it is when Muse and Mojo run away together;)But you can find them on this fantasy island called CJS14 :)
Have a gorgeous day

Nat

I am so excited to JUMP into 2014 & those bloopers put a major smile on my face! Thanks for that.

what a funny!
You two are just having too much fun in this last week before the big holiday—-and I love it! Can’t wait to Jump Start again in January….one of the best classes I took in 2013, and I know 2014 will be even more inspiring! Happy Holidays!!
You two are adorable! You’ve coined a new word! That’s how innovative CJS 2014 is!!
My mom is from Germany and my sister and I still laugh about her ordering Chicken McNoooo-gets at McDonalds in 1982. Lol! Gott im Himmel, you are so cute!
LMAO!! What a clever idea for a promo video. I’m all signed up and can’t wait!
Moojoo is the baby from the union of Muse and Mojo when they ran away for a wild month in fantasy land.!
Tissue alert! Tears to fall from laughing so hard at you both!
Joe seems like such a fun and creative guy (based on other things that I’ve see online that he made, not the card he is holding in his hand). LOL
Cute little commercial Nat.
:-)
Loved it! You’re the greatest Nathalie!
I’m excited to announce that I decided to do Creative JumpStart again. Here it is: Creative JumpStart (CJS) 2014.

Hello — I signed up for CSJ 2014, and was unable to participate due to several health issues and hospitalizations. I would like to know if there is any way I can still access these videos. I would really like to be able to Jump Start my art again!
Thank you for any help you can give me in this.
CJS 2014 was available to watch until the end of November 2014 ; CJS 2015 is available to watch until the end of November 2015.
So enjoyed the CJS 2013. Am looking forward to January and CJS 2014. Thanks for offering it at such a reasonable price.
So happy you decided to have CJS 2014. It is such great fun to learn from so many talented artists and for such a low price. I look forward to January every year since you started having CJS! Thank you.
I am so glad you decided to do it again! all signed up, and ready to go :)
Woo Hoo, singed up and ready to go!
I know that this takes a lot of work Nat and I’m glad that you decided to do it again. Well worth the cost plus more. It provides me with a piece of happy each morning:-)
I’m signed up. Can’t wait. so glad you decided to put it on again, Nathalie!!!!
So happy for you, girl! Wish I could join you, but all my crafty goodness is packed in boxes until I move to my own place. :-( But I’m with you in spirit, my friend!
Oh yay! I so love this event! Just topped up my PayPal and will be signing up at the moment I have the $ in my account :)
I really enjoyed the sneak video, too!
I’m signed up! Can’t wait for it to start! I do have a question…will we be able to download the videos?
Thanks for doing CJS again! I know it’s a lot of work and I appreciate the time and effort you put into CJS for all of us!!

I already signed up! I loved it last year….learned so much, love Nat’s teaching style! And this year I have all the materials, so bring it on! January is such a great month to take online classes, when we are pretty much hunkered down here in the cold and barren northeast!!! Can’t wait!
Love it I just paid
So excited to be able to take part of this again. Love your work Nat much appreciated all the effort you put into this.
Fantabulous Nat and a bargain too!
OH Yesssss! still tasting CJS 2013!….Wonderful opportunity, with Nathalie, one of the best teachers, mixedmedia artist, playing with gesso, acrylic, powders, layering…, etc. Thanks Nat for starting 2014 with this!….will sign soon…the best 2014 for you and your dh!…
Those of you who were part of the Creative JumpStart 2013 saw the videos that me and my artist friends posted on my website throughout January. The videos are not available here anymore, since I have to make room for new fun things to come ..still thinking 
…but I thought it would be nice to repost my 10 technique videos over the next couple weeks- so that you have access to them whenever you want.
And now let’s jump to the 6th video in my Über*Media Creative JumpStart 2013 Workshop which was the Brayer Background Technique – one of my faves
If you have no external speakers on your pc – turn up the volume a lot (the audio is very low in this video)
CJS 2013 Technique6 Brayer Background from Nathalie Kalbach on Vimeo.
This and the other techniques are part of some of my Über*Media Online Classes.
They are there to free your creativity with techniques and how-to’s that go beyond one certain project. I want you to learn something new that you can adapt to your own style and can use for many projects to come.
Über*Media classes are dedicated to different kinds of media that cross a variety of materials.
I do have several Über*Media Workshops available right now for example Über*Media -PanPastel, -Acrylic Paint, -Gesso, -Acrylic Ink and -FoamStamplifier.
For my Creative JumpStart Über*Media Workshop I showed some of my favorite Über*Media Techniques that can be used in your Mixed Media, Scrapbooking, Altered Art and/or ArtJournal Projects.
And here are the supplies I used in the video:

I agree, a 2014 Creative Jumpstart video series would be AWESOME! I loved the 2013 series:) Hugs and Happy Holidays Nat.
Will there be a Creative JumpStart 2014?!? I had a wonderful time learning and playing this year so I’m hoping there will be! Thanks for sharing these with us again!
