The final book was made from the remnants of a pair of brown suede boots I bought at a charity shop - pebbles were too difficult to attach to the book and tree bark would rot, so I took apart a bracelet and used the shell accessories to adorn the book - they fit in with the colour scheme and the "natural" vibe of things. I used scraps of the boots to create a wrap to tie the book shut when necessary, and bound the pages loosely with hand stitching. I pieced together scraps of the boots to make the overall cover, hand sewing them together with cross-stitching and securing them using UHU Glue so it was more stable.
The book contains the six drawings required and a title page.
The final images were created using fineliner, graded pencil, and promarker pens.
