Creative Jumpstart Days 3 and 4

 Hello Everyone!

On day 3 of CJS, Martice Smith had us looking out and about for inspiration to make mixed media abstract collage papers. She used part of a tyvek envelope to create a mask, and used it with a gel plate. Then she added details to her mono-prints with pens.

I found a photo I took of Berlin Wall art, when we were there a few years ago. I love those abstract faces.

 I created masks to use with my gel plate, cutting around the head and eye, and creating hair at the same time.

I used red and turquoise acrylics to make my gel print, then added details with a black paint pen. 

I used the inner and outer parts of the masks at the same time, one on each side of my plate, with the turquoise acrylic, then switched them around, placing them carefully to match them up, when using the red acrylic. I hope that makes sense.

On Day 4, Catherine Scanlon invited us to make a page about ourselves. My page is very different to hers, as my style of art isn't the same, but the idea is to be inspired to make art with a theme.

I love using collage, and I used my favourite colour combination on my page, so I'm linking up to Erika's Favourite things theme at Art Journal Journey.

Thanks so much for visiting,
