Today’s artist for #cjs20 is fun-loving Carolyn Dube. This project involved using mica powders to create your own adhesive tape. I only had 3 colours, but love the effect (which was hard to scan).

#cjs20 day 7
Today’s artist for #cjs20 is Birgit Koopsen, whose wonderfully colourful gelli art tutorials I follow on YouTube. This project really appealed to me because I’m a gelli plate fan, so always looking for new ways to use my tools, and it didn’t disappoint. I’ll be using the process again and experimenting with the possibilities.

#cjs day 6
Today’s artist at #cjs20 is Iris Fritschi-Cussens, a mixed media artist in London. I loved the process she demonstrated and like the page I created – it feels like ‘me’ but with a nice twist. I don’t normally paint faces so this was quite outside my comfort zone!

#cjs20 day 5
Today’s artist was Tina Walker, with a fantastic project for #cjs20 – a miniature book. This was quite time consuming for a weekday evening, but I loved it and will use the process again. The poem is by New Zeland poet Diane Brown.
I made the paper for the book, constructed the book, added gesso then stencilled grey or pink to each page. I cut up the poem, inked the edges and adhered to the pages. Finally I added and decorated the cover.

#cjs20 day 4
Today’s artist is Andrea Gomoll, whose work I often check out on YouTube – so, as with Jane LaFazio yesterday, it was great to see her name pop up as the featured artist on #cjs20. Her video was about colour theory essentially.
I don’t have watercolours any more so used watered down fluid acrylics on Bristol paper that I’d taped down with washi tape. The washi tape had black dots on it and some of them transferred to the paper, which was odd. My favourite is the red and green, Tony’s favourite is the blue (possibly because it’s the most realistic).
