Helen Breil’s recent polymer works (and some new stamps) show off more of her expertise with textures. A sneak peek at her radiating lines tutorial has convinced me to try textures this week.
I was also encouraged at a recent retreat by a chance to inspect Laura Tabakman’s stash of homemade texture plates made from Super Elasticlay.
She creates and collects graphic elements that transfer in a deceptively simple process. Of course arranging the elements is the trick and learning to use the plates is another art.
Look at the works of these two artists to get an idea of the possibilities.

Helen’s textured disks are very cool. I’m sure the tutorial will do well.
Laura’s cup necklace’s are out of this world. You have to check them out.

Helen’s textures are wonderful… I have a whole bunch of them. They are, in a word, Delish! Now, off to Laura’s site to see her work.
Thanks for the wonderful kick-start to the morning, Cynthia!
