The Tell-Tale Heart - ok, I lied, but now it's really finished

Following a critique I got back of my Tell-Tell Heart I decided to listen to their very good advice, and try to antique the cover, as just didn't quite fit with the antiqued look of the inside pages. So I put some paint on it. Which not only added the needed age, but also brought out all the detail in the shapes! I love it!

  1. OOH! So so beautiful! Antiquing really helped it although, I thought it was amazing even before the paint job.

  2. I agree with KarleighJae, that it is very beautiful and that I also liked it before. The antiquing has made a difference though. It's great.

  5. I think it looked great before, and good now! The before version had a crisp, new feel, while this one has a very appropriate aged look. Again, great work!
