Book Covers



These beautiful embroidered book covers were handmade by artist Jilian Tamaki as a commissioned project from Penguin Classic Books. The covers wrap around to also include the back! I think Emma is my favorite (mostly because I'm an Austen fan), but all of them are equally beautiful. Isn't the detail amazing?  I can't even imagine how long a project like this would take.

    They certainly inspire. Now I want to break out the watercolors! Great post. You always find the coolest stuff in the oddest places. (a compliment).
