/diy/ - Do It Yourself

The dragon eyes are just two glass beads (glass or metal only... plastic might melt when you cook the clay) and the head is made from sculpey III (its the non colored pink stuff that comes in a one pound block... it is more rigid than super sculpey and can hold texture and shape better)... then it was cooked and hardened, then painted, and then glued to the book.

The "leather belt" is craft foam with a buckle. I would probably use a real belt in the future, just because craft foam is a little fragile for how a sketchbook is supposed to be used.

The other embellishments other than the belt are just painted on.

The sketchbook is so pricey in itself, (10 or 15 bucks) so I'd be hard pressed to sell it for what it is worth in time and profit... I want to be able to sell them for like 20 or 25$ while making profit on my time and materials. Maybe one day ill buy some sketchbooks bulk or something and make it work.
