Hello my people of Steemit, Continuing with the theme of Nature, this time I present to you how to make a Heart-shaped Book with Wood texture and metallic finish; a heart that has its texture in the center to simulate ancient leaves. Without further restriction let's start.

Materials

Flexible dough.
White glue.
Hand cream
X-act.
Work area lined with Contac paper
Brushes
Acrylic Paint (Black and Green Grass, Brown, Bronze Finishing Aging).
Metallic Painting (Red, Inca Gold, Copper).
Gold and Copper Mining Dust.
Argollas, Eyedpins and Chain.

Paint the Mass (Same as in the previous tutorial).

To paint a piece of dough with Acrylic Paint Grass Green or Green Grass, with a Stiletto or Orange Stick apply paint on the dough, then proceed to mold it, do this procedure repeatedly until you reach the desired shade of green, then save the dough in an airtight container or wrap the dough in Film Paper, once that process is finished, proceed with Step 1.

Step 1

Take a piece of Flexible Dough, with the help of your palms and circular movements create a sphere, with the help of a roller flattens evenly to have a thickness of at least 3 or 4 millimeters thick, with the help of a cookie cutter heart-shaped, cut a piece of the flexible dough and save the excess.

Step 2

Take the excess plus a slightly larger piece of flexible dough and with the help of the roller flatten to a thickness of 2 millimeters, then place the heart before cutting and cut part of the silhouette, then take the dough and place it on the heart to make the top of the book, with the X-act cut the excess.

Step 3

You take the heart cut in Step 1 and with the help of the X-acto make straight cuts on the whole edge of the heart to create the texture of the old leaves, then with pastel chalk or eye shadow (in my case use eye shadow) and a brush we paint all the edge to give an aged color to the leaves, then apply white paste and then place it on one of the covers and then finish covering the heart with flexible dough.

Step 4

With the help of the X-acto he makes irregular cuts on the entire surface to create the texture of the wood, then cut small pieces to create the spaces of the bark; Once that is done, proceed to make a small heart which you will stick on one of the covers of the book, around this you place some very thin flexible dough strips and with the X-acto makes diagonal cuts.

Step 5

Once the textures are finished, proceed to anchor the entire piece of Black Acrylic Paint, taking great care not to stain the leaves; once dry, copper-colored aging agent is applied in conjunction with Copper mining powder (the latter is applied with the fingers), with a brush we apply on the ropes that surround the heart the Red Metallic Paint turn on the heart powder is applied Gold miner.

Step 6

With the help of the X-acto, glue white and a Stylet we proceed to place the moss made with flexible dough, which is created by making small cuts of Flexible Mass previously painted Green Grass, with glue and Styling aid we fix them to the spaces of the heart that we want to have those endings, once dry proceed to place the eyedpins with the ring and the chain.

Final Score

I hope you have enjoyed this work as much as I did, a book that reflects nature in the form of a heart. If you have doubts or suggestions do not hesitate to express them 😉, bye 💜.
