As a child, you likely have played with playdough (or plasticine). You must have created textures, poked your finger in it, rolled it to make snakes and used cookie cutters to create various shapes.
Now, with this script, you can replicate that fun effect with any shape and color (even multicolored elements).
The script will generate a texture based on a texture tile but also a random array of settings, making each run create a slightly different texture.
You can choose one of 4 thickness, which will be more appropriate with the size of the project, or the size of the individual element.
The script will even add a drop shadow on a separate layer. If you like that shadow, just keep it. If you prefer to add your own, you can do so too.
Get this script in the store: Playdough.
What kind of designs would you create with this script? Would you write text? Create long and twisted "snakes"? cut out shapes? Tell me in the comments below. I'll pick a winner and will announce it next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).
For a sampler, I created a "hand drawn" alphabet for you. I used three fall colors.
Since several letters were created with overlapping segments, the drop shadows were added to each of them.

What project will you crate with those?
I absolutely love it. It reminds me of when I was a child as well as when my children were younger and we would spend hours creating imaginary kingdoms filled with buildings, people and animals out of playdough. If I had this script, I can picture creating a replica of the imaginary kingdoms link my kids and I use to do and use the various elements to create papers and custom cluster frames for photos of my kids when they were younger.
i can find many uses for this! it really does remind me of children and the fun they had making creative things from playdoh
this is fun. I can think of many uses for this script. Frames would be fun but an alpha also.
What a nice script! I loved the alpha… each letter having different textures. I would also use as picture frame; I do this a lot with you rope and bead picture tubes.
