a thousand years to wait....

We have an interesting and challenging theme for you at

 "Book Covers"
Anything you see on the mood board covers~
colours~images~words
Tell us what inspired you to create yours from the covers.
My inspiration was the top right hand side of the mood boar.
A thousand years to wait.....the colours and flowers plus the title which related to the pandemic...
Plus I have this book and half way through it...it's great.

Photographed then printed the image of my book,  added some gesso, then printed the sentiment onto tissue paper and modge podge over the top. Using a die as a stencil, I then tore the page apart, then added  79 & Market flowers.
This is an old paper back book from the op shop that I used to 
design the cover for the design team project. 
Show us your awesome book cover designs at
Our awesome prize is....

Hi Annie, a stunning mixed media book cover, I love the colours and flowers you have used...

I hope all is well up North... have a wonderful weekend.... Megan
