The cloud on the cover is not quite what I had imagined …
but time is running short. And I do love the lettering …
worked with Deb Lacativa threads, as so much of this book is …
If only the camera could reproduce what my eye is actually seeing.
It can’t. Oh well.
At least there’s the Hazel Monte-inspired moon to soothe me …
I need to finish … this and three more cloths (for end “papers” and a back cover). Finish in time to make books for Christmas.
On deadline … no pressure (ha!)
Addendum:
So, this byline shot is a bit closer to the actual color …
I'm Going to Texas (version 2.0) 
(((Liz))) this is so beautiful!

I think the cloud is perfect. It cuddles the text.

The effect of the lettering reminds me of abalone. Your lettering is so well executed. The moon, delicate and touchable thru the eye of the lens.

Fiona – thank you … I seem to do much better when I just let my needle wanderSue – oh yes, you're right … it does look like abalone. Deb Lacativa's threads are so amazing.

Nancy – thank you, but I must confess to terrible-ish printing and handwriting. Strangely, though, when I write in cloth (usually with erasable marker, but sometimes in ultra fine permanent ink), somehow the letters transform under my needle. I can’t explain it, but I am grateful to Jude for giving me the gumption to try, otherwise I never would have discovered this paradox.
