With all the suggestions you are getting, it is probably more difficult for you to come up with a title and book cover than the technique that the book will be all about.

I agree that stained glass in the title brings to mind a totally different technique. But whatever the title you use needs to be bigger and stand out more. I personally like the pictures in #6 but the title needs to stand out more. I think the background could be adjusted to give the photos more drama.

Needs more work. Back ground needs changing. The blue lined work appeards to be more of a clip art piece and the portrait though a beautiful little girl needs to be blended more into the art work. Right now it's choppy. Good start keep at it.

Hi Trudy,
I sent you a PM a short time ago. I was so intrigued when I first saw your technique that I jumped on downloading the file you provided. Now my first attempt is almost completed except for the final edge trim and finishing. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the process.
Today I caught this thread about cover ideas for your proposed book. Having just done the technique my preference is definitely #2, with #5 for the back cover. I agree that the text should be wrapped and not overlay the images. As for using the term Portraits, my feeling is it makes a great first impression. The fact that subjects other than people can be done this way could be conveyed in a tag line on either, or both, the front and back. Include a small graphic of a landscape or still life, with an offset of the fabric image on the back cover to further illustrate the point.
Thanks again for devising this unique process.
