Description
Part 3 of my Lexicon Tutorial! W00t!Ok, So I haven't got part 4 or anything cuz the camera I was using (my dad's - I have a bad habit of losing my cameras...) ran out of batteries and I can't find the charger for it. Boo. I will remedy this as soon as I can. In the meantime... Uh... Feel free to either ask me what to do, or do it on your own.
Part 1: [link]
Part 2: [link]
Part 4:
*edit*
FACK. APPARENTLY THE TEXT IS "HALLUCINATION: ANOTHER SIDE," NOT "THE WORLD WITHIN: ANOTHER SIDE"
DAMMIT.

Your tiling is the same as mine, jaja! Great tutorial, congratulations!
I'm doing my own Lexicon by following your tutorial, and when I submit it, I want to appoint you in the description. But I'm new and I don't know how to do it... can you guess the question?

I have, cause I'm trying to do the "corner covers" in different materials, and it's awful! Float didn't go well, so I thought that a foamboard could work (but it's expensive, eight euro a metre). What do you think?

I used this stuff called paper clay, but I've also seen it done with craft foam. For the paper clay, I rolled it flat, cut it out, fit it over the corner, then pulled it off carefully to let it dry, sealed it, sanded it, and sealed it again, then painted it silver, then glued it on. Do that four times. The arrows and bars across the spine are also paper clay.
Otherwise, cut the craft foam to the right shape with a notch on the corner so the edges can get folded over. Glue it in place, then seal it with a substance called modgepodge. Then paint it.

Let me another question (sorry, I hate being so "annoying"), could you submit a picture of the finished book where I can see all its parts?
Sorry again!

I will, but I can't right now. I don't have it with me because I'm up at school and it's home in Texas. I will be back at Thanksgiving in November and can get one then. Right now the best picture I have of it is this: [link]

Hi! I am also trying to make a lexicon. You're tutorial has helped so much! Thanks. I have some parts I'm trying to figure out and I was wondering if you could help me. Are the corners of the lexicon also painted out? How would I make sure they aren't too big? And are the symbols, corners, and titles silver or white? Thanks so much for posting this!

It's all in silver. And the corners are actually made with paper clay, I rolled it flat, cut it out, fit it over the corner, then pulled it off carefully to let it dry, sealed it, sanded it, and sealed it again, then painted it silver, then glued it on. Do that four times. The arrows and bars across the spine are also paper clay.

omg, this is so awesome. *_*
Is there a part four? It looks like it's been so long, though. :C
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There will be a part 4! Once I get photoshop again. I might just do a text only walkthrough with ending pictures, but that would be really difficult to follow, so... But yeah, my computer with photoshop died so I had to get a new one, so I lost all my old files :C
But thank you! Let me know you start working on one and I can give you any other tips and answer ay questions you may have ^_^

Heh, well I'm unsure as to when I'll start due to lack of funds (SOMEONE HIRE ME *flails*), but there is that at least.
If nothing else, you can always try GIMP? It's a program that acts a lot like Photoshop and it's freeware! It also opens Photoshop files so that helps. :3

(I was looking over the comments for this and realized I never replied to this comment so long ago. Sorry for the delay! >< )

ok stupid question time but where can I get paper clay?? All the sales people I ask only show me paper mache ><
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you're from America, it will be in the same section as the paper mache at your local Michaels or Hobby Lobby. The reason I used paper clay as opposed to paper mache or model magic is because it is easier to gt a smooth surface and smooth cuts. Personally I really dislike working with model magic OR paper mache, for various reasons. If worse comes to worse, you can order it here: [link] That's what the package looks like.

Yeah I use model magic for my wands~ They are ok, but yeah nearly impossible to get a smooth surface and clay WAYS too much ><
And thanks :3 I'll be ordering some to try for that and my wands ^-^

Which wands? It can be pretty brittle, so it wouldn't last long as a long cylinder without some sort of base . You also can't make it too thick, as it shrinks slightly when it dries and if it's too thick it will crack.
Good luck!

I was going to use a dowel base
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh okay, that should work then. Be sure to use as little as you can in order to cut back on drying time. Also, they can't really get wet.

Well if a client gets their wand wet not really my problem
