Here is my entry for the bears next literature Challenge. This month you had to chose your favourite cubhood (childhood) book. Either one that you still enjoy today or one that you remember well and use it as inspiration for your project.
I chose Judy Blume's, Forever. This is still one of my favourites
It's about a teenage girl, Katherine, who believes that she has found love forever and so agrees to take her relationship further with Michael.
This book reminds me of the feeling when your a teenager and you really do believe love is forever. So taking inspiration from the title and thinking of my husband, who I hope will be mine forever I created this page
I used old book pages for the background, then followed a technique from craft stamper using chipboard shapes and tissue paper to create texture.
I gesso'd on top and finished off with a light pink wash.
Thanks for looking and I hope you pop over to the bears blog to take part.

This is fab, Horace remembers this book well from his teenage cubhood and says you've really illustrated the book well. At that age we all think it's love forever, and when we get older we still hope to have found our forever love.
