"Combining Handmade Stamps with Zentangles"
I am a person who absolutely loves color. I have also created many series in black and white by using Zentangles.
Zentangles - Paintings with patterns instead of painting with color.
My eyes are equally satisfied when the detail is there. Here are a few pages where I combined my new lady stamp and a few different Zentangles. I like to have a source to look back on with some different Zentangles to pick from so I made this page as a resource for my students to give them examples of a few different ones I doodled.
The photos at the end are of the postcards that are now available in my etsy shop. Rebecca's Funky Font postcards. These are great for cutting out the letters and using them on future journal pages. You get a pack of six cards (2 of each design) for $8.00 One side is glossy color and the other side is black and white.
That's all for today, until tomorrow. Have an artsy day everyone!

The patterns on your zentangles completely work together. It will be interesting to follow you in stamp making.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your page that incorporates your handmade stamp with Zentangles! It SO works marvelously . . . and I'd LOVE to see you use some bright color on it ~~ you are such a gifted lady, Rebecca! Wishing you a beautiful weekend of life and love!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know Rebecca I am so glad to have found you.
ReplyDeleteI love your work. I love that first Zentangle especially!!!
Fantastic postcards!!!
oooh la la !! Look at the page you made with the girl stamp !!! I wondered how to incorporate that.. and you did such a fabulous job ! Always so amazing ! Have a terrific Artsy Artsy Day, Rebecca !
ReplyDeleteI love color, too. :) But b-w are just as awesome. I made a couple of stamps from erasers as well. YOu can get some sort of rubber in craft shops, I don't know how it's called but you just carve the image out like with the eraser. I know Alisa Burke has an on-line workshops for making stamps. She uses some sort of foam.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a fab weekend! :)
Great idea about the zentangle patterns. I found when making them that i kept using the same patterns over and over--so its fun to see what patterns others use.
ReplyDeleteThe way you've incorporated your new stamp with all of the black & white doodles is fabulous, Rebecca! My question is . . . will it STAY b&w? LOL! I'm lovin' the zentangles AND your new postcards too. Great post today! Happy Weekend! Hugs, Terri xoxo

Superb stamp making and wonderful how you incorporporate them with the zentangle work Rebecca. I find your zentangle a true art in itself - beautiful fluid quality to it!
ReplyDeleteNice! I like the B&W, too, especially the first one with the faces in between.
ReplyDeleteOh Rebecca, I love the combination of the stamps and zentangles. I love all the different patterns you have come up with and the idea of using these pages as reference pages. What a great idea!! You are so creative
