Merlin's Magic Book

Another gift for my Merlin-obsessed friend! I decorated a paper mache book-box [bought from Hobbycraft] in the style of the spell book from the show. To add more detail, I cut out bits of cardboard to make edges and a centre embellishment. It was painted completely brown, then dry-brushed layers of red and gold were added. The inside is a bright Pendragon red, and the 'pages' are a creamy brown with dry-brushed stripes! :)

I'm really happy with how it turned out, and my friend seemed very happy too! :D
