Streams of Silver - Cover Plate

 


In GIMP, I traced the title font from a high resolution photograph (surprisingly I could not find a better image online).


Then I replaced the title on the the SVG cover file I created for my Crystal Shard Booknook and changed the color gradient to match the spine and back cover.

I printed it, glued it to some a cardboard stock (with PVA glue), and cut out the shape with a hobby knife when it was dry.

The result allows me to frame the scene properly!


Before, I was concerned about adding too much elevation to the base. Looks like I can increase the height of the foam base and bring it forward a bit as well. But it looks like there will be very little guess work from here!
