I've almost finished it, I just have to bind the pages in.

I had a lovely Samhain plaque so I thinned it off and used that on the front
The book cover was made with thick card and some suede like fabric I had, some trimmings etc.

I mixed various acrylic paints to get the shade I wanted and dry brushed on gold acrylic to pick up and creases and make it look older. On the back I cut out a triquetra with thick paper and painted over it.

It's not perfect, but it's my first attempt at spellbook making

I just dry brushed him with decoart antique gold acrylic paint.

That looks fantastic- I like that it isn't overly garish; someone before me said it has an elegant look. I'd keep it out all year long! Does it open as well?

Hallow and another beautiful work of art! This is so perfect! Seems Halloween decidedly does NOT suck at your house! BOO!

Yeah I finished binding the spell pages in this weekend, I used replicas from the charmed tv show and edited them a little to my own taste. I'll take some pics of the pages when the Husband comes home as he has my camera.
