After running various versions of the cover designs for Looking Through Lace past Facebook, my blog, and the cover voting site I’ve used before, we have a winner: looking through hair and stars! *g*
For those curious, here’s a breakdown of the various voting results:
Facebook: Hair – 9; Eye – 3; Hair with Grid overlay – 1
Voting site: Hair – 5; Eye – 2; Hair with Grid overlay – 3
Blog: Hair – 4; Eye – 4; Original cover – 3
I find the differences pretty fascinating. The readers of my blog never saw the hair variation with the grid overlay, since I never got around to uploading it, but there was a strong anti-hair lobby. Everywhere else, however, the hair won hands down.
Despite the various objections to the hair, I’m really happy with the result. AND I will now soon have a paperback version of the novella! One has actually been out for a long time, but it’s in Italian. 🙂
I’m very pleased with the job done by Lou Harper, and have already asked her to do the second book, Beyond the Waters of the World. And with all that investment, I should finally get back to the series … If only I didn’t have about a gazillion other works in progress already …
Beautiful 🙂
Thanks!
Great job! I love it.
Me too. 🙂
Seeing the full spread, I like it a lot more. It’s a bit more obvious where the hair ends and the stars/clouds begin when you can see them streaming onto the back cover.
That’s good!
EMEGHERD!!!! … ** waves arms like Kermit** … gorgeous. 😀
Yeah, I tend to think so too. 🙂
