Little help here

[Frodo]

I was surfing online and came across a rather cool design on a wallet. It appears to be done with stamps

Can any one identify any of these stamps?  Or, If their is such a thing. a book that list stamps with images of them??

it looks to me like it is one really big stamp used with a press of some kind.

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

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.

Thank you, that is just what i am looking for

I have to do something,  my carving skills look like a 6th grader was having a bad day and had to stand in the corner. pitiful

Also I think there is a creative stamping section under Paul Burnett on the first page of LW.net!

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.
