spacedog Report post Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) I agree with Chuck123wapati. Mandalas are interesting things and the closest I can find with individual tools is something like this. Here is a link to a page that helps you create your own mandalas and lists the leatherworking tools too: design your own mandala Edited July 9, 2021 by spacedog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted July 9, 2021 There are books that cover this. Creative Stamping is one, I think Paul Burnett's website has some also. I may have a duplicate laying around here somewhere also. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YinTx Report post Posted July 9, 2021 Also I think there is a creative stamping section under Paul Burnett on the first page of LW.net! YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rahere Report post Posted July 9, 2021 One of the issues with the basic stampology is overstamping in the valley where the larger loops meet - it's a hurried solution rather than a meditative one. The original uses circular sectors, for example, suggestive of rainbows. The essence is a lotus flower, opening from a core: everything expands outwards without contention. Therefore, the inward-facing leaves are also wrong. It's a mantra, a meditative focus, and may be treated like a rosary, petal by petal, the pensive finding a path pertinent to them. For a clearer view, chakra knowledge may be helpful, or in the Hebraic tradition, sephiroths. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
