Luther - The Octopus Book!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/181338970/handpainted-octopus-journal-sketchbook

 Luther started out as  a quick warmup painting and a test for a future painting. It took me awhile to figure out what I should do with it but I decided in the end that Luther was destined to become a Journal/sketchbook. 
I glued and sealed Luther to the book board and created an abstract watercolour painting for the back cover to match. 
I stitched this journal together on a lazy Sunday afternoon  using cotton cord and a coptic binding stitch so that the pages will lay flat when you open it. Coloured paper along the spine makes it a little fancier!

Luther needs a home and is for sale in my Etsy shop Das Buch.
