Morning Glory Book Cover

My interpretation of the Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, USA

It is a pool with hot water that is coloured by the heat loving algae growing on it.

The name was given because of its resemblance to a morning glory flower.

The colours are smashing in nature (and on my picture)

 

I used a very coloured home-dyed fabric, very blue piece of lint fabric

and covered it with a coloured piece of Lutradur -

sewed around it in tentacle and other shapes, cut out pieces to show the "tentacles"

and embellished it with handstitches and very few beads.

I was searching for something to make a book cover and found it in my box

of little works. It was there for about 6 years.

 

And here it is - the bookcover - by chance it had the right dimensions.

The colours are very close to the original.

 

I only added two strips of fabric to keep the book firmly inside.

 

 

 

This is the bookcover panel.

And I made more - on the left you can see part of the postcard

I worked with.

 

The bookcover

 

The colours however are not at all like my panels. I can't get it

better.
