Henry VIII has ordered the dissolution of the monasteries and England is full of informers. At the monastery of Scarnsea, events have spiralled out of control with the murder of Commissioner Robin Singleton. Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer, and his assistant are sent to investigate.
Dissolution is another book I read on the way to and from London when I lived there many years ago and I used to get the train back to Cardiff to visit the fam! I picked it up in WHSmith in Cardiff station because I liked the sprayed edges…however, the book is actually brilliant. I never knew I would like this kind of book so much… its like a ye old who dun it. hah!
Now with a back story like that this book and cover had to be included in this advent and I adored making this colourway. The deep navy variegated tomes with dark hints of purple against striking yellows, all whilst attempting to not let the colours mix in the pan creating green. I am so pleased with how they turned out!
Scroll all the way down for the day 23 pattern spoiler!
TOMORROW is Christmas eve and our last colourway! Don’t panic though, because its a big one!!!
