OMGOMGOMG what a cool effect!!!! I'm certainly goin insane about your arts. Forever love

[@Laughingtoyourself]

wow, amazing! love how you did the copper oxidisation

[@DianaMoon11428]

Best description of faux verdigris I've seen on the net - thanks!

[@anonthe-third2367]

My god you are the queen of wood grain! I would love to see you get one of those miniature house kits and putting your own spin on everything inside.

[@ZanVonZed]

That's what I did for my very first video on YT :) (but the outside)

Colours on point !

[@berkleypearl2363]

I’m so glad I found this channel during summer, because I still have time to try and learn to make something as pretty as you do

[@shellysdolls]

I love this metaphore. Books are like doors to other worlds.

[@sheilaeckert8556]

I'm always getting so surprised by how much you think the design through - those carvings and the frame! While colouring the details got me really good, thanks for that

[@AcestarArtworks]

It's amazing how much like oxidized copper it looks! 👏

[@SwapnaD]

Wow! Thank you for sharing.

[@ImperialKneazle]

Stunning, a master class in clay, colouring (using only 4 colours) and of course book cover making. Thank you for sharing x

[@GoofNerdProductions]

I totally love watching journal cover tutorials!

[@gesarts3625]

I love the oxidization look method you used here. Excellent job.

[@WildPortraitArtist]

wow the effect that you got wiping off that turquoise and painting on the metallic paint! It looks just like oxidised bronze! Incredible work!

[@kurogiza]

Mate, this is absolutely gorgeous. It would make a wonderful gift. Very inspirational and beautifully done, thanks!

[@ronhenson746]

[@saisonceline8034]

Magnifique ! Ta technique est incroyable

[@lynwoodlewis6002]

Absolutely amazing! Watching your imagination come to fruition by the skill of your hands is truly remarkable. You are an artisan. Well done.

[@jendragonfly]

Wow, Just wow. I have been wanting to make a polymer cover for years, but It's so outside my comfort zone, I guess I will just have to be brave and do it.

[@matturban9103]

Don't be afraid to try. I didn't know I could sculpt until my later 20's. Go for it! Have fun!

[@wesh3338]

this is very interesting to me because in my limited hobbyist miniature etc painting i would very much have worked in the opposite order, painting "back to front" in layers so to speak, wood first, then gold, then working on trying to weather it with the patina. but clearly that's a lot of wasted effort and covered up paint, if you have the foresight to understand what the actual end result will be. and you retained a lot of the contrast from the black undercoat doing it your way. i get the impression you probably went to art school but either way its very helpful and instructive to see how you work, thanks for posting all these videos

[@ZanVonZed]

I went to 'design' school 🤷🏻‍♀️ but did learn to paint with oils, acrylics, gouache and watercolours from art books and stuff (and have been painting for over 20 years now). There are so many varying techniques in the art world, there's no real right and wrong as long as you reach your intended vision :) (although the purists may think otherwise)

[@greencupcakes1]

BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!!! This is GORGEOUS!!!!!

[@ZanVonZed]

Thanks! :D

wow :0 that journal looks like it holds the secrets to the past

That’s fantastic, what a beautiful way to dress a book and make it special, you really have some great talent and imagination..

[@marionmathews9852]

Amazing effect and result!

[@emilianofisanotti9639]

THANK YOU!!! I've been doing my patina all the way around!!! Your way makes a lot more sense: Undercoat > Patina > Metal!!!

[@ZanVonZed]

Both ways work well, I just find this way easier to control 😊

[@everfreebrumby8385]

Great job.

[@zenietree]

[@bellyblister7867]

I love this so much. What is that clear glass/acrylic sheet you use to put the sculpts on?

[@Mycatsname]

Hi I love your videos, thanks for posting. Can you please explain why you always have a dark under coat? Your painting is brilliant and other sites use a light under coat but they never look as good as yours. I don’t know why the different under coat would make such a difference, I mean aside from your brilliant paint work, you make it so realistic ❤️

[@FJlittlebluerose]

I love this so much, really inspires me to try more relief style sculpting sometime soon!! Quick question, was the black base coat just paint or like black paint mixed with anything?

[@ladydragonart7386]

I adore!!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@Luesium]

How long did this take from start to finish (including gathering materials and drying)? Beautiful job!

[@ZanVonZed]

Thanks! This one is Polymer Clay, so drying was only 15 minutes in the oven. I think roughly around 20ish hours for everything..

[@crazyesil]

Love It. Can I ask which tipe of fabbric did you use? Maybe It's leather?

[@ZanVonZed]

Thanks :) It’s vinyl (has an aged leather look)

[@crazyesil]

@@ZanVonZed Thank you!

[@vickiefowler1429]

I love it! The hammered iron texture is perfect. Here’s a tip for the verdigris... paint the metallic gold (or bronze or copper) on first... then do a watered down verdigris wash over it, letting it run into crevices like it would naturally form. I think you’ll be happy with the results!

[@martinitang]

Bravo :)

[@gwencrable7286]

Loved the entire process. Especially love how you recovered the book. What was the clay cover mounted on? Was that MDF?👍🏾❤️

[@ZanVonZed]

Thanks! No mount, just clay, then glued to a hard-cover journal :D

[@gwencrable7286]

@@ZanVonZed Ah, ok. It looked like it was mounted to another piece when you turned it over to glue it. Beautiful work.👍🏾

[@AshAngel]

what glue did you use to attach the sculpt to the book?

[@billkarley2093]

Hello I’ve just come across your channel. Love your work. I’m thinking of making a few covers for my art journals. I’m just wondering what it was that you were using as a base to put your work on. And did you bake the clay on it too. If not how did you remove the clay from that surface please. Sorry true novice and very curious because these products and tools are not cheap and I really don’t want to make and then waste. If you don’t mind helping me out I would truly appreciate it. Thank you cherieK🦋🌈

[@ZanVonZed]

I just used a piece of glass to work on and bake on :)

[@billkarley2093]

Zan Von Zed thank you so much. It’s a beautiful cover. Cherie🦋🌈

[@billkarley2093]

Zan Von Zed I’m so sorry to bother you again. What type of glass is it. It looks like it’s out of a picture frame. Sorry it just really looks fantastic and the fact when you’re working on the clay once you’re ready straight into the oven. I know if I’m going to move my work to put on a service to bake the clay I’m going to stuff it up. And all my baking trays are huge and would make it very difficult to work with. Thank you again. And I’m sorry I ask a lot of questions. CherieK🦋🌈

[@DontLeaveMeLucile]

How did you get the clay a flat rectangle in the first place? lol

[@marisangiovanni]

Amazing work!!! Question: how do you stop the clay from chipping or cracking when using? I find Super Sculptey to be not very strong after baking. Do you coat it with anything else to make it stronger?

[@ZanVonZed]

Thank you! Mine doesn't seem to chip after baking. Maybe bake longer? Or the oven temperature is slightly off from the dial indicator..? Some people put an oven thermometer inside the oven to get a more precise temp. Failing that, I've heard Premo is stronger. Varnishes won't help too much if its brittle, unless you coat it with resin. Hope thats somewhat helpful :)
