[quote=""lauragill""]I'm in the midst of making a Mycenaean costume--Mycenaean, not Minoan; no bare breasts--so that I can do some photo shoots for cover pics. Good Mycenaean cover art is so hard to come by! My goal is ultimately to make those images available on stock photo sites so that my work can one day be featured in the Deja Vu Book Covers thread!

I look forward to seeing them. Have you done the photography for some of your other books? Do you have photography experience?

No, but I have a camera, a simple concept, and Photoshop experience.

I quite like the Nancy Bilyeau design. Those do recall the first ones, definitely, though!

I like the slash marks on the Nancy Bilyeau one. I can't wait for that book to come out.

Me too. I think the silhouette works nicely as a shadow.

So, since we like it, we can give it a pass on that textile not really being a proper tapestry, agreed?

Couldn't resist the pedantry, I am a bad person ...

I'm not inspired by any of them TBH. I would definitely read Nancy's novel because I enjoy her writing, but none of these silhouette covers do anything for me as a reader.

I was hoping it wasn't supposed to be the tapestry... well, I think it would be more difficult to slash a tapestry like that, so maybe that explains it?
