Description This sketchbook is covered in polymer clay with glass gems, an old Fossil watch and a cool little ceramic bead.

I carved a turtle shell pattern then added the scutes and textured some of the background to look like a turtle's scaly skin. After the clay was cured and cooled, it was painted with acrylics and touched here and there with metallic wax.

It measures 9.75" x 11.25"

You'd want a hard cover spiral bound book. The clay won't be flexible after curing and could pop off a soft cover.
