This is the cover of my book. Today I painted these letters in gold to then place onto the front of the book. I began to stick them with superglue, as I thought it would be the strongest and easiest option, especially as some of the thick letters are slightly bent so will not stick so easily. However, on one letter I placed too much of the glue, and it dripped onto the centre of the front cover. I could have turned the cover over so it would just be on the back, and start again, but I am a perfectionist and I would alway be drawn to this imperfection. So, as it did not take too long to cover the board in material, I started the process again.
When it was done I knew not to make the mistake of going near the superglue again, so I used double sided tape which worked just as well as superglue.
I think the cover is coming along really nicely, although I may add some extra detailing as I don't want it to look too plain. It needs to be simple, but not too simple.
