Description
This is the finished journal...not exactly as I envisioned it but still okay I guess.
I hand painted the book with acrylic paint, gold pen and permanent marker. The piece in the center is polymer clay, which I added texture to and added glass gems and found objects. I added PearlEx powdered pigments to the raw clay, cured it and touched it with some metallic wax.

this looks incredible, adding texture to the clay must have been tedious. i've always wondered, do the journals get quite heavy once you've finished them, or are they still fairly practical to carry around?

Thank you! The clay is very light weight but when I start adding glass gems and other things they start to get a little hefty but not too bad.
