I really love it when my hobbies come together. For example in form of Star Wars Custom My little Ponies or knitted Space Invaders scarfs. This time emroidery meets book cover art. Canadian artist Jillian Tamaki was asked to design the covers for the new Penguin Threads Classic Book Edition. The covers will be sculped embossed so it actually feels like real embroidery ♥

She’s done Emma by Jane Austen:

The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett:

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell:

I think they are beautiful and I really consider pre-ordering them (available from October 25th 2011). What do you think of this art-crossover?

Alles Liebe,
