Made a dolphin/dragon themed stationery kit from my own pattern for a close friend of mine. It includes a writing pad cover and a pen case, both dyed to saddle tan color. I went a bit easier on the tooling this time, wanting to preserve a simple design. I also antiqued the notepad/notebook cover with special dark antiquing paste, making it look a bit aged and accentuating the design I carved into it. The notebook cover can fit an A5 sized writing pad + two 64-page A4 notebook at max while the pen case will fit 2 ballpoints or fountain pens.

The carving design was inspired by a pencil drawing by Carcia from DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/carcia/a.....in-1-251404546
