Closeup shot :)

I've decorated this blank journal with polymer clay, pearls, iridescent glass gems, crystal droplets, metal starfish and seahorse, acrylic paint and PearlEx powdered pigments. The border was hand-painted with gold leaf pen.

It was so hard to capture a good photo of the shimmery PearlEx and touches of gold and silver. I think this is one that you will say "Oh Wow!" if you were holding it in your hands. The iridescence in the crystal droplets and the gems changes depending on how the light hits them also.

This spiral bound journal has 100 lined pages and is signed on the back by me. It measures 5.5" x 8.5"

Now that is gorgeous.

I checked out your etsy shop for the other close-up shots of the book. I'm surprised you were able to make a simple black cachet look so fabulous! It's jaw-dropping how lovely the colors come together with the silver and metal pieces. Wonderful work!
