After doing the evil dead inspired fridge magnet, I really fancied doing another version of it that was closer to how it looked in the films. I though it would be cool to have one that was an actual diary that you could write in. So I bought a hard-back diary and then textured over it with latex and cotton wool, sculpting and shaping it as I did so. It's a very simple technique but one in which you can create some lovely textures.
Once dried, I then painted it, and added the stitches. I loved how this turned out and was really happy with the results.
The paint that I used for this was just normal acrylic, but I did mix in a little bit of latex so that it would not crack once dried upon the diary.
And the finished piece.
