Description

Yes, I do own this. I have NOT stolen this off Edward-x-Elric, we are one and the same; I have two accounts. I'm merely re-uploading this because its a cosplay piece.

Don't ask how long it took me to make, I have no idea, it was an ongoing thing.

Basicaly, I bought a book and backed it, painting it in acrylics and adding the State alchemist logo on the front. then I filled it like a diary of the anime. (((Of course, its not a full account of the anime. Though it will be when I get round to finishing it. it ends just before the trip to lab 5 and the last lines written by Ed are "People, thats what it takes to forge a stone, its all in Marcohs notes. I couldn't possibly ask Al to continue.")))

Originaly there was no logo on the front as it was a detail I missed. There was also a sticker on the inner cover that said "Happy 7th birthday Edward, love Mum and Dad" as if Trisha had put Hohenheims name in it even though he wasn't there... but 'Dad' had been scribbled out by Edward. Then I noticed the logo on the front and that page had to go, however I couldn't bear to tear out the human transmutation page with the fake blood on it as I loved it too much... you'll forgive me that discrepancy won't you?

It contains pictures of Ed, Al, Winry, Trisha and Izumi. As well as Nina, Alexander and Baby Elicia. These are pasted on different pages throughout the book.

And yes, its accurate down to the hand its written in. As you know, Ed's naturaly right handed (((Unlike Al who's left handed~ possibly a little known fact, but if you look, you'll notice that he often writes with his left hand out of choice, but I digress))) However with automail Ed would find it difficult to hold a pen, so he's had to force himself to write in his left hand (in Shou Tuckers house he's writing to Winry in his left hand, and his writing is TERRIBLE). Therefore most of this book is scrawled in left hand.

The transmutation circles you see (scars and the homunculus one) are also drawn in left hand, and I think they turned out well.

Umong other things, theres a coffee ring stain on one page (which is actualy hot chocolate, not coffee, and was an accident, but I thought it looked good and kept it) tears on another page. Red water stains (which you can see at the corners) from when he runs around the red water spring under Xenotime. And scorch marks from when he fought the colonel (don't ask why he'd carry the book with him, but he does.)

At the back of the book, after a section that explains the components of Transmutation circles, is a letter from Winry (complete with Envelope) glued into the back cover.

Because the Red water was mixed and stored in little jars that used to hold poupuree (sp?) the entire book smells of dried flowers...
