Marine-themed handmade journal, Feb 2024.

I'm very pleased with how the coptic stitch looks with embroidery thread to create that gradient look! I'll definitely be doing that again! Funny how much easier this stitch seems now compared to my first time doing it. The turquoise fore-edge is Diamine tropical shimmer ink, which I would like to try again on sanded edges to see how sparkly I can get it.
