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!

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.
