Recently just wanted to do one of those "no-rules-doodle-to-your-heart's-content" exercises.

Nice, Johan! Those are definitely off the beaten path. I love to see unique stuff like this.

Impressive!!!

I will get out the stamps every so often and start playing with different combinations. When I read the title I was thinking of doodling on paper as I often do to work out technical construction problems and designs.

I am pleasantly surprised to see that you meant "toodling" instead and worked it all on leather.

I am SOOOOO stealing the reptile technique!

Support Quality. We are all humans. Buy the best no matter where it's made. That way everyone lives in harmony. Nature knows no flags.

Do you mind me asking what tools you used .

Realistic effect.

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

Johan, nice stuff, I'll have to stop in and check them out in person, I really think the yellow/red pattern would look cool in a motorcycle solo seat.

The frog skin pattern is great, as is the last one. I can't figure what tools you used to get that effect - it's great.

BTW, I had a principal in S.A. named Potgieter (Robertsham Primary School in JHB), but of course, there's a million Potgeiters in S.A. so I'm sure no connection - but, you never know.

Hi Ian,

No relation that I know of ...

The tools I used for the last pattern:

First one is a hand made tools (made by my friend Jason Rovig) from square steel stock. And the second is my all time off-the-shelf favorite from Tandy - The triangle beveler with the lined texture.
