Cover artwork: Like Bees to Honey

by Caroline Smailes on February 23, 2010

As promised, I’m posting some of the hand-stitched fragments that the wonderful Becky Adams created for the cover of Like Bees to Honey.

I’ve more images that I’m able to post over the next couple of days and then hopefully (fingers crossed whilst doing a drum roll) I’ll be able to reveal how all of these bits and pieces were stitched into my new front cover.

I think Becky is magic.

That is such a cool idea - will be a limited edition ACTUAL fabric cover version for some of us to win? It would be sooooooo strokable…

A rich tapestry - who could ask for anything more?
