Description

Jitterbug has created a wallpaper mural of this 1607 book cover of the Bible and Common Book of Prayer. This intricate hand stitched cover depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden beside the Tree of Knowledge in exquisite detail and texture. Beneath the tree is the fountain from which the four rivers—Pison, Hiddekel (Tigris), Gihon, and Euphrates—flow. This satin book cover is adorned with intricate silk and metal thread work, spangles, and a variety of detailed stitches including long-and-short, split, satin, couching, brick, and knot stitches.
