Daily Paper Prompt #21: Stamp a Mandala
Tue, August 21, 2012 at 09:46AM 
3x5" index cards, number stamps
Create a mandala using only rubber/eraser stamps. A mandala can be made with any small stamps. Flowers, dots, stripes, stars, hearts, arrows, alphabet stamps, number stamps, symbols, circles. Try to look at the stamps as shapes, and how those particular shapes can add to your mandala. Are they linear? Round? Curved? Like the "7" stamp - really two lines at an angle, right?
I used my new set of number stamps to create these two mandalas, using the numbers as shapes.
Please snap a photo of your work for this prompt and add your link below. Link to the specific photo at flickr or to a specific blog post. I've added Link Loves to all of the DPP's to date - so please pop back and add your links. The Link Loves are looking quite lonely!

Hi,
I have paint-on-the-brain today. I did 2 mandalas with stamps and hadn't been into Flickr for a bit so I couldn't figure how to load them both. Still NOT entirely sure I did it right, but oh well, Life is a learning experience extraordinaire!!

I have so few stamps. But, I do have a kitty & a flower stamp that came in handy for this prompt.
