Description

FULL VIEW, PLEASE! :la:
This is my work for monthly challenge for :iconcrartisancrafts: the theme was "PREHISTORY". UPDATE: and it has won the challenge! fav.me/d67dwjo :woohoo:

Also it's the first work done in my new place, after getting back to my beloved city. I had a huge dino-phase as a kid and still have great deal of sentiment for T-Rex so here he is, sneaking on my notebook :D I've spent much, much time over it and I'm really glad with the outcome :)

Thiny thing: 11x12cm, perfect for purse :) Natural suede leather burned and inked with a hint of white ink [all the dark parts are burned, not inked], strings are handmade by me from cotton threats in two colours and two different techniques. Inner covers are made from brown plain paper. 108 squared paper pages, hand-filed on the edges to give it more rustic look.

As you must already know, this is absolutely delightful and people would BUY it. There is of course, room for improvement as always, The burning is an incredibly original idea though I would like to know what it feels like to the touch. The white is too bright and perhaps should be blended or grey instead? I think maybe you should apply them in different places as well. The back is not quite as pleasing. If you really want to have something on the back, you should make the tail a tad bit longer. I love the idea of the braids thought i think they could be shorter and the yellow should be duller. Sorry if I come across as harsh but when I see work like this i will assume you are a mature professional and treat you as such. Splendid work, truly pleasing to the eye, made me stop for a minute.
