Asemic Tarot 166 & Interpretative Reading

The gold and iron cross –
inside the moon aria box

many old candles
beautiful colours of people
many old tapers
someone else should preserve this
and a nice
vessel

Candles in the Jar of Dreams –
explained in the cabinet
of the man
icon
of myrtle visions

silent satellite
amber robust affliction –
look at what was painted

If you look carefully, you will see that the bottom half is an open book, with an illustration on the left and text on the right. The top half are two different pieces. Using various manipulations, I blended common elements, that give it a bit more unity.

The book is an interesting curiosity, that somehow ended up in my collection from previous generations. It is a Russian 1928 edition of Dominion by J F Rutherford ~ early Jehovah Witness proselytizing.

Beautifully bound with an #EmbossedCover, and colour #BookPlate #Illustrations. I’ve been tempted to use it for altered book art, but for now, just scans for collage work.

I have no idea if this book has any collector's value - it is an odd set of criteria: 1928, #Russian, #ReligiousTract, #JFRutherford #JehovahWitness $$$ :bl46: 😂

Should we judge a book by its cover? Apparently, we do

"A good book cover is a reader’s entry to the content," Baby Hearts Press owner Anna Jaworski tells us.

I would love to get your thoughts and feedback on my from my latest book, The Challenges of Being Me. Do you like it? Does it capture your attention? Without knowing anything about the book, what genre would you say this cover best fits? @bookstodon

IT'S COVER REVEAL TIME!
I've created new covers for my contemporary romances. The books are from years back, but I felt they needed freshening up, found a series of fun photos and had fun with them. I really love the colours. You can read more about the books on my webpage

Bad book covers do such a disservice. For a pastime that exists mainly in the mind, an off-putting cover has the power to push away even the most literary of lovers. As much as I love books, when I want to buy a book, if the cover is terrible, I won’t. Books are works of art-starting with cover & ending with the story, & I want the whole, beautiful picture. 📚

Air beds' reputation for comfort and encouraging a healthy sleep regime was poor. Those in the Medical study of sleep have the following saying:

"The balloon is a harsh mattress."

An interesting historical note, the saying first came into use with Circus Clowns in the late 1800s.

Any traditional (no-digital/AI) SF (no-fantasy) cover artists out there interested in working on a cover for me? I’m looking.

I just heard from Michael Whelan’s contact. He’s semi-retired and not taking commissions. Oh well. It was a long shot. Guess I need to find another artist.
