Meander and Hourglass Border Stamps
              by Wayne Christensen
                          www.leatherbywc.com

 This is how I do my layouts for meander and hourglass border stamps.




  First I draw a line on scrap
leather and stamp a 3 stamp
pattern; I keep doing this ‘til I
        like the spacing.
            Figure (1)




                                      Figure 1: Practice three-stamp
                                    patterns until you like the spacing.




 After I lay in my outer border
line, I use wing dividers to get
   the spacing of my inside
           border line.
           Figure (2)




                                      Figure 2: Set wing dividers for
                                           correct border width.
Next I stamp the 4
 corners on the
   inside line.
   Figure (3)




                        Figure 3: Stamp corners on the inside line first.




 With the dividers, I
 get the spacing of
the 2 stamps on my
  practice piece.
    Figure (4)




                         Figure 4: Set wing dividers to proper stamp
                                           width.
I transfer that to my
  line, working from
   both ends to the
        middle.
      Figure (5)
                         Figure 5: Mark the leather to indicate stamp
 When you come to                    center placement.
the center, you may
 have to adjust the
  spacing a little.
     Figure (6)

                         Figure 6: Stamp spacing does not always line
                        up; make adjustments as you place marks near
                                         the center.



                                                                         A

 Start stamping at
one end by placing

                                                                         B
  your stamp just
 above your mark,
and slide it down to
      the line.
    Figure (7)




                           Figure 7: (A) Line stamp up with mark.
                        (B) Slide tool down to begin stamping the row.
Work both ends to
   the middle.
    Figure (8)

                        Figure 8: Work towards the middle from both
                                           ends.




After the inside rows
 are done, start on
   the outside by
 placing the stamp
evenly between the
stamps on the other
        side.
     Figure (9)                                                               B
                     Figure 9: Complete the meander by carefully
                      stamping the outer row evenly between the
                               impressions on the inner row.
 You can bevel the outside of the meander to raise it, or lightly bevel the
                     inside to crown the meander.
