Skull and Eye

At first, this was planned as a commission...person who wanted it, desired something with skull and eye symbols, somehow combined.
I was in the middle of this, when that person changed her mind and bought one other, already finished book from me, leaving me with this concept...and I found it rather entertaining to continue, on the end.

This book has very unusual covers, beside symbols...they are made of hard cardboard and a sort of air dry clay, then coated with two different variations of bronze colored paint and burned (yes, burned ) a bit, so it would maintain solid form. The result is a book for which I believe will outlive me, as it's so hard and damage resistant. Still, it feels very light in hand, so is usable for pendant or something similar.

Endpapers were chosen by the mentioned person too, it's not a real marbled paper, just printed one.

Symbols mean "warning, beware of contents, dangerous" for the skull and "I see you, you can't escape with the knowledge" or "now you see clear" for the all seeing eye.

Book has twenty blank pages inside. Decorative stones on sides and in skull eyes are hand painted glass (among last in the batch I bought some time ago and painted).

Book is 2.5 x 2 cm high (0.98 x 0.78 inches).

I know I've been submitting rarely in last period...thanks to all who inquired what is happening, am I all right and similar, it really means much guys It happened that my life lately got complicated in a way lives sometimes do, so I had no time for anything really, including dA. Hopefully, it'll improve soon So expect much more in times that comes
