cast in uretan, this material is really great, I have some small air bubble defects, I will try to dilute the uretan with mineral spirits, to see if I can extend the pot life. and at the same time test to degas the uretan before casting , but I will be able to fill them by hand with the uretan that I have left. a big painting job also to give the book a better look. Thank you
N2darkness for your suggestion to use uretan
tomorrow I will do some more colors, the eye is set up to have a preview
the card is almost finished, some finishing details to do, I still have to fix the canvas in the background and find two supports to be able to put the book, I don't know yet what I'm going to put, maybe metal burls or something else, if you have any ideas it's welcome. the book is still the prototype, the final cover of the book is almost ready. soon the final

So cool - super well done!
Is this version of your book the same as the one in your previous post last Thurs (I believe the uretan version)? The paint job looks a little different, although hard to tell by pic quality.
Also, side question: is uretan the same as urethane? A specific version of it? Something else?

Hi, it's been a little while since I posted anything. I've been busy with work and spending time with my son.
There have been a few small setbacks with the use of urethane and setting up other elements. I’m also gradually discovering things I hadn’t thought about.
Here are some photos of the urethane version, with different nuances. Even though it’s hard to achieve exactly the same result as the one used in the movie, which is normal for a handmade item, I’ve also added a worn relief effect, as if dust and other elements had settled on it, since it's an ancient grimoire. The photos and lighting are a bit misleading. I’ve noticed that depending on the platform I use to edit the photos, my grimoires appear slightly different, and the photo quality doesn’t help. But overall, I’m quite satisfied with the result, though I still need to add the eyebrow and lashes.
There’s also another element I’ve been given advice on: the snake eyes are purple , so I’ve ordered some gems for that.
There will also be the option to request a custom color, and I will do my best to meet the request.
There will also be two options:
-Open eye
-Closed eye.
The project is almost finished, can’t wait!

I tried several techniques to close the grimoire and make it very resistant. Even the most powerful magnets were a failure, but hey, we also learn from these experiences. So I rewatched the movie Hocus Pocus and I noticed that in the shots where the actors open the book, we can see a small piece of metal sticking out of the buckle of the clasp. So I decided to use the smallest ball locket I could find. Now it won't move anymore, the result will be solid

Well here is the first book of finishing touches in the corners and a few small points to modify again and again. But the result is really cool, I know some are the "weak" points to modify so that it is even more solid. The book is not finished but I know that it will be soon
