Gawjus

I came across these beautiful embroidered Penguin book covers today on the blog of the uber-talented Jillian Tamaki:




Such wonderful textures to them. Apparently, according to Jillian's blog, they will be "printed with a sculptural-embossing technique that will emphasize the stitches". I do hope so, it would be a shame to miss out on all those lovely shapes. They're out in the autumn and I can't wait to get my hands on the "Emma" one; that hair is just stunning. Check out Jillian's blog post for photos the works in progress and of the full wrap-around covers.
