I just got done listing 20 new small clear stamps in my Etsy Shop.
They are fun and work great for making texture in your clay or stamping on paper. I love using them for Mokume Gane and Mica Shift techniques. Here are some of the new designs. Check the New Listing section in my Etsy Shop to find them.

I have teamed up with Miriam “Mimi” Badyrka, the Doodle Queen over at http://www.doodles.typepad.com/ , and will very soon have some of her doodles made into clear stamp designs !!!!!!!! If you are not familiar with her blog The Doodler you really should take a look.
Here is a preview of a few of Mimi’s designs I want to use.

I recently saw online that people were talking about and making something called Zentangles. I had no idea what a Zentagle was so I had to check it out for myself.
What is a Zentangle? It was developed by Maria and Rick of Zentangle, Inc. and they define zentangle as a “fascinating new art form” in which beautiful images are created “one stroke at a time” from repetitive patterns. For me it boils down to doodling 🙂 Not mindless doodling that we do while on the phone, but doing it deliberately. I have seen it described as abstract doodling, abstract drawings and monochrome pen drawings. People making zentangles find it therapeutic, mesmerizing and well….. zen like. All you need is a sheet of white paper, a fine tip black pen and your imagination to get started.
Of course polymer clay artists have taken zentangles to a new level. 🙂 Interpreting their drawing into polymer clay art. You can interpret the drawing literally and create a black & white clay “drawing” like Dora has done.
Dora also has a tutorial on making clay zentangles you can check out.
You can take it a step further and add some color to your clay zentangles like Rev Byrd has done.
Check out Daily Art Muse’s article called 6 Ideas for Polymer Clay Zentangles. Many helpful hint are shared to get you going.
