This is amazing! A creepy ear cell case would be cool lol. Can you make something similar to this but kind of looks like it's popping out of the wall/door for Halloween?

[@dylanbuttigieg5870]

You could by literally making the same thing as the book cover but smoothing the edges and colouring it to fit the colour of what you're sticking it to (example grey colours for grey wall) and then stick it with putty or something.

[@iamchriss77]

@@dylanbuttigieg5870 Very true but I was thinking for of a face or hand instead of a mouth.

[@dylanbuttigieg5870]

@@iamchriss77 that would look really cool and you don't have to just use clay for stuff like hands if you don't have much clay. I remember once, my friend used a mannequin hand and covered it with paper mache (probably spelt that wrong) and it looked like the hand was trying to break through the wall and stretching it in the shape of a hand. I think you might find that idea good if you need it

@@dylanbuttigieg5870 Thank you great idea 👍.

[@mythlover20]

"Why have a boring sketchbook?" Because you need to be able to lay it flat to draw on both sides of the paper and to scan it. So, word of advice: do this, but wait until you *finish* the sketchbook first and have scanned everything into the computer. :)

[@DanteYewToob]

Or just make this into a reusable cover. I'd make a simple leather book cover, and then put something like this on the front. That way you can swap it to your next book, and take it off if/when you need to.

[@kdmusic10]

If u don't have permission to look through the sketchbook it'll eat ur hand.
