Tutorial thingy

As I type this journal, I have the dried (acrylic) blood of the hemospectrum all over my hands. Progress on the ~ATH book is good.
Some of you requested a tutorial, I have no pictures but I can go over the process in this journal.

MATERIALS:

* Book
* Mod Podge
* Tons -o- acrylic paint
* Time.

1. Acquire programming book.
    I used this one here; www.sebodomessias.com.br/loja/…
    It was $10 at a local used book store and it was already mostly black.

2.  Paint it black.
     Not the most exciting step of the process, but necessary. I used 3 or 4 coats of black acrylic paint to get an even coat.

3. I blew up a picture of the book in MSPaint (how appropriate) and cropped it down to the face. I experimented with sizes and found one that  
    worked. Then because I'm a masochist, I cut out a free-hand drawn face for the spine. I also printed "ATH" in MS Word and highlighted it in
    black. Then I remembered I was supposed to mention the "~", which I cut out of paper and applied with Mod Podge.

4. Glue everything on with Mod Podge. Make sure you let it dry with a lot of pressure to avoid bubbles. BE CAREFUL TO NOT GLUE THE BOOK
    TO YOUR DESK. I did that once, it set me back to stage 2.

5. Once everything is attached to the outside, coat it in a layer of mod podge. This will make it shiny and safe.

6. Inside there was a name in the top left corner.  I scribbled it out and wrote KARKAT VANTAS. Then I used a box cutter to cut out the first
    page.

7. Print out a new title page title thingy. I recommend Courier font, size 16. Be careful when mod-podging it in, or you WILL GLUE THE PAGES
    TOGETHER. Seriously, that is a massive risk. You could ruin the entire book right there if not careful. DANGER.

8. Congrats, you now have a clean ~ATH book, assuming I didn't forget anything. If I did, or wasn't particularly clear, feel free to
    message/comment. ALSO. If you actually use this and make one, it would be AWESOME if you link my page when you post pictures or
    anything.

GO FORTH AND ART.
