current obsession: jillian tamaki book covers...

embroidered books

this is some serious cover art by jillian tamaki. these three book covers were HAND-EMBROIDERED over the period of several months. holy smokes they are just wonderful. every time i see hand-embroidery i get weak in the knees. the dedication and steadfastness and craftsmanship of it all is awe-inspiring. love.

Beautiful intricate work. As someone who dabbles in arts and crafts I have an inkling of how she must have worked on those covers. The multicolored hair of the lady on the cover of the first book is admirable.
