Lady of Shallot

Here is my most recent cover.  It has my favorite painting on it, and my favorite colors, purple and black.  I am not finished with the inside yet.

 "Read and Escape"

Please Comment!

"Rainy day in New York"

 "Farewell My Love"

   

Here is a stucco wall of a ship sailing away.

The picture that is on the inside

Inside of the book

"The Night Sea"

This one is very mystical. The embellishment is actually a magenta color but it came out red.  It also does not have many miniatures in it, please scroll down to see  the "Escapes" with miniatures!

"By the Sea"

It is almost finished, I am just waiting for a tray of goodies to arrive to put on the table.

This is one of my all time favorites.  In an older post, I showed the process of picking out things for your cover.  Look really closely to the background , the wall and the surroundings because on the inside of this one, I focused on the outside....

On the left, the wall is that of what was in picture, then on the right I textured the wall so it is just like stucco. I used Golden's "Coarse Pumice Gel"  it turned out great, though it was a bit challenging, I would rather use a palette knife next time to apply (rather than a paint brush).

This one had doors, but they were just too small, proportionately, so   I took them off and came up with this.

Here is the finished product.....finally!
