Librarian's Choice - The Art of Stripes

Thank you so much for all the fabulous entries to this challenge - so many wonderful stripes! 

This time, I've decided to highlight four entries, all of which used all three of these inspirations: the cover, the title and the story (or in this case the fashion theme).

Librarian's Choice - Death on The Nile

When I first opened The Library, I decided that I wasn't going to shy away from 'challenging' challenges - even if no-one joined in! Some books are easier to interpret than others but I've been surprised and delighted to see the fabulous entries submitted for even quite tricky books, such as Death on the Nile. 

Any of the ten entries into this challenge would deserve a spotlight, but I've decided to pick out three that show how differently a theme can be used.

Heather  took inspiration from the suit of the man on the cover:

DJ went with the camels:

Martina  crafted like an Egyptian: 

I hope you will copy the badge (above) to your blogs.

The current challenge,  The Art of Stripes  ,will remain open for another week, and tomorrow we'll be heading for the coast for our new challenge.
