I had a difficult time deciding on a favorite book. I love several series: Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern books, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover books, Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books, Joust books and her Elemental Masters books.
So I decided to do a different series. I took the cover picture of the first book of the series and printed it on fabric before using inktense pencils and water to color it.
Then I cut out the house and tried a couple of backgrounds.
I didn't think the house stood out enough. I got a suggestion that black might be good, so I tried that and thought it worked. So here is the finished piece.
Guess you want to know what the book is (HA HA HA).
Yes, I am the author. Book is a cozy witch mystery with a Victorian house painted in multicolors.
What a fun idea. I didn't think to do a book cover!
ReplyDeleteThat is genius! Now you can do a series of all of your book covers! :) It turned out very well.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. Your quilt/cover looks great and I'd love to read your book. Where can we find it?
ReplyDeleteAmazon has both soft bound and Kindle (E-books)
DeleteThe black was definitely the right way to go your Victorian House looks quite otherworldly against it :)
