Discussion:
Finding a good copy of a witches knot wasn't that hard (thank you Google images).
So here's what the book would look like as a mock-up of the raised design and the cover. (I omitted the 4 ribbons)
The raised image of the knot was left white for the image above but in the final project it will be under the leather. I just have no idea how to make it look that way with Gimp.

Now that I have the boards taped up and ready for the leather the question was raised as to what version of green to dye the leather. I'm going to experiment tomorrow with some various shades to come up with a few versions of a good 'green' for the client and let the client pick.
