BATTLE OF STAMP # 3 M y Fa v o r i t e B o o k

Ilse from Stampij asked me if this battle was something for me. See all other entries overhere.
Love books, love making stamps, so  Y e s! 

This bookwurm didn't have to think hard about the book...since I started to appreciate reading as a kid, I thought it would be nice to take a childrens book.
And I've got a lot of them...
Bought new through the years...but also books from my childhood.
I love illustrations and dream of illustrating a book myself o n e d a y. 
Its on my bucket list ;>)

One of my favorite books as a kid is Kleine Beer (Little bear) with the beautiful illustrations of Maurice Sendak.
I got it when I was two and I now read it with my two year old daughter AnnA :>)

The challenge for me in making this stamp is that it's the first time I copy a drawing from someone else. I just love drawing & designing my own prints for my stamps.

And when you copy something...it can never be as good as the real thing!

But I was curious what a stamp would do with the drawing...
So here it is...a tribute to M a u r i c e  S e n d a k.
