February 28th 2015 - Painting the spell book

Today I am going to give the spell book its 1st coat of paint.  As I don't have enough purple acrylic I am going to do the first coat in a pale pink (mixed with silver) to make sure I have enough, this paint also has a sparkle to it.

I found a pin on pinterest about using acrylic paint to paint book covers with.  I planned to use this paint anyway as its stronger than kids poster paints.  I am also thinking about varnish or pva glue to protect it.

Here is the book after its pink coat of paint:

I think its starting to come along quite nicely.
