My passport cover looks like a spellbook

Quick project for a contest someone else is running in a FB group. We all got the passport cover design to start with… after that…

I had some fun with it

Lasers make the little details so much easier!

PG Thick leather, Fiebings Medium Brown leather dye and Angelus Pearlescent 18K Gold acrylic leather paint. Total project time around 2 hours plus a bunch of ‘waiting for paint to dry’ time on the shiny bits (4-5 coats of paint!)

Gosh, the gold really pops! It’s a perfect accent to the brown leather.
