Whilst thinking of an appropriate front cover for the book, I suddenly remembered those scratch boards I used to do as a kid... where you scratch away a black surface to reveal gold... making a nice picture of a horse or a penguin.
I thought this could be perfect, making the book look like a sort of prayer book...
So I ordered some blank ones... and then bought some graphite paper to get the images of the crosses across.
Unfortunately, after a couple of hours of tracing and scraping... the result looked terrible and cheap. What a waste of money and time, I even bought gold leaf to stick down.
Back to the drawing board...
