Claptrap Bookmark

Here is a Claptrap bookmark I made for my fiance! Borderlands was the first video game we played together, so I figured it was fitting for a present for him =].
It's made out of multiple pieces of acrylic paper, acrylic paints, ink, and sealed with mod podge (which makes it shiny and protected!). The Claptrap itself is actually cut out of a separate piece of paper so he is slightly raised up and looks more 3d. The quote is from the Zombie Island DLC. Also, it really is cut straight, but the edges bent a little when I took the pictures so it looks a little funny shaped, haha.

It looks great! Nice job :)

Technical question: "acrylic paper" means "paper made for painting with acrylics" not "paper made of acrylic", yes?
Because if it's the second I want to know more about this :)

Yes, paper made for painting with acrylics. I happened to find a pad of it at walmart for only three dollars and was so excited (I had been using oddly sized watercolor paper for my acrylic paintings but it soaked up the color SO fast that it made things difficult).
