I used air drying clay and formed it around a metal bookend for strength. After the clay was dry I rubbed it with various distress ink pad colors. I mixed some clay dust with white glue and spread that in various areas to give a textural difference between the matt and glossy areas. I then coated it with mineral spirits.
