I found the pictures. They were right there in the camera, where they belong. Don’t ask. It’s a middle-age thing.
I’ve been experimenting quite a bit in the studio, sewing, using acrylic medium, pushing the clay and enjoying the special properties of liquid polymer clay. I have also been revisiting ideas regarding the combination of zentangle doodles and polymer clay.
Polymer Clay Zentangle Mold
The zentangle doodles captured my interest for two reasons: I love repetitive patterns and you don’t need drawing skills/talent to create wonderful doodles! At first I thought I would make image transfers with my doodles. Maybe carve the transferred image into the clay and make a texture plate.
But the more I played, the more I liked the idea of actually making a doodle in raw clay using cutters, and texture tools. Yes, this appealed to me. So I made several. The picture below is a detail of a tile made with a zentangle texture plate.
Just one of the things on my studio table right now. What do you think?
Very, very cool!
That is more like it, Susan. Now take that tile and turn it into a vessel! Nothing like a bit of clay under the nails to make one feel good and healthy.

Beautiful. Looks like it was bleach printed?
love this. i see wall art.
that is awesome! Ever since I heard about zentangles (from you!) I decided I was going to make a couple zentangle texture plates….you beat me to it. I love yours!
Lovely! Hmmm….. How about zentangles on Necco wafers?
Very interesting new way to use your different tools !
I like very much these mixing patterns.
Do you put something on, like ink or pigments or others ?
You introduced me to this way of “drawing” and I find it very relaxing and almost like meditation. Now I get to try these texture tiles. Thank you. luvjean
PS Sometimes my photos hide in the camera, too.
I love it!
Thanks so much for sharing.

How big is that? It would make a beautiful pin or maybe pendant, assuming it’s small enough…
You got me hooked on the Zentangles too, Susan. I got my kit for Christmas, and, of course I was already an inveterate doodler.
I like where you went with the textures. I have been working with the transfers and carving/backfilling with it… It makes a very cool texture plate!
