How were your illustrations used? :
Book Cover/s

How did you make this work:
This brilliant novel unfolds an entire century of Georgian history through the fates of members of one family. I wanted to make something epic for the cover and chose a carpet as a coded portrayal of events and characters. To make it believable, I created an uninterrupted illustration on both sides and spine of a real carpet and used some authentic Georgian ornaments and colors.
