Jillian Tamaki's book covers

Illustrating classic literature is a pleasurable illustration challenge: it's always interesting to see a reinterpretation of a popular subject. It's frequently done, though, so making a fresh spin is difficult. Jillian Tamaki does a beautiful job with her embroidered book cover creations.

She's also made a cover for Black Beauty and The Secret Garden; if you go to her blog you can see those as well!
