Custom sketchbook/journal covers (koi one added 24/03/08!)

Just trying something new, after my friend El and I had a discussion a while ago about fun things to do with blank sketchbooks LOL

So I tried my hand at decorating a small sketchbook with some minor relief:

I picked mushrooms because I like forest scenes and mushrooms in particular as a decorative motif, and I also just kinda picked the first thing that came to mind since I had my nature guidebook nearby for reference heh heh

I currently have this book priced at $60, is that insane? I wish I could price it cheaper but that’s the honest bare-bones price I can do for the work and the materials used including the blank sketchbook @_@ I have another sketchbook I did, of a red dragon, but I don’t have a recent picture of it yet so that’ll have to be posted later on ^_^

ETA: And here’s a picture of the red dragon / firedrake sketchbook I did, I wish there was a better way to capture how it glows LOL

That’s a neat idea and very nicely executed.

I like it. I would put it on display and never use it.

Very cool. I love mushrooms! 😀 😀

Thanks! I think they are awesome! Not to eat though, for me anyway heh heh

The firedrake one is neat too, but I still life the mushrooms better. 😛

Just finished a new sketchbook the other day, thought I’d show it off a little ^_^

I am very happy with how the scales came out, I wanted to do something a little more abstracted 😀

Nice! Love the colors.

Thank you! ^_^ I think they are nicely rich and interesting, not my normal colours (well the green maybe heh heh)
