Arlen’s Messenger Journal

Another awesome entry in the Warding Contest, this one from Aussie Lauren, hereafter known as Lauren Down Under, who despite her obvious affinity for warding and immense creativity, is not to be confused with Lauren K. Cannon, ward artist extraordinaire and co-judge of the contest.

Take it away, Lauren:

Hi Peat,

Here’s my entry for the Warding Contest. I decided to ward a leather journal based on what I imagined Arlen’s messenger journal would be like, complete with faux blood, gore & travel stains!

Hope you like it 🙂

With much fan-girl adoration,

Lauren

That’s all for now. I am off to Baltimore tomorrow at dawn for Balticon, followed by some impromptu signings in Maryland and DC. I’ll be back Tuesday.

I did get my iPad today, though, and am interested to see how well I can blog from it, so there may be updates over the weekend. Keep sending in those warding entries! They bring immense joy to my soul.

  4. Yours was amazing, too, Iris! The new fan art galleries should be up later today on the Creations page, if anyone wants a look.

  5. Hey,

    That journal’s kick-ass. Another cool way to do it would be to burn the wards into the leather – on the premise that you really wouldn’t want the wards to wash off…
    I love the effort you put into the bloodstains and making it look authentic.
