Beloved was originally designed by Jonathon Boyle as a gift for his two friends to make space for remembering the little moments that build the tapestry of a marriage. The intention is that it is played out on anniversaries over the course of a lifetime. I wanted the colors and imagery to fit with the threads of fate, so I used elegant embroidery scissors along with the thread illustrations. The cover features two hands gently caressing and tethered by a golden thread to remind the married couple of the promise they have made in marriage and the work they are putting into their bond.
