There Was Will

Take a description from a novel and create your own space depicting that piece of literature:

I chose Cassandra Clare's "Clockwork Prince": Tessa rose to her feet, glancing around the small room that had been her prison cell for six weeks. It was smaller, with flowered wallpaper, and sparsely finished- a plain deal table with a white lace cloth over it where she ate her meals; and the narrow brass bed where she slept; the cracked washstand and porcelain jug for her ablutions; the window sill where she stacked her books and the small chair where she sat each night and wrote letters to her brother - letters she knew she could never send., letts she kept hidden under her mattress where the Dark Sisters would not find them. It was er way of keeping a diary and assuring her self, somehow that she would see Nate again someday and be able to give them to him.

She crossed the room to the mirror that hung against the far wall, and smoothed down her hair. The dark Sister, as they in fact wished to be call preferred her not to loo messy. Although they didn't appear to mind her appearance one way or the other past that - which was fortunate, because her refection made her wine. There was the pale oval of her face dominated by her hollow gray eyes - a shadowed face without colour its cheeks or hope in its expression. she ore unflattering black school marmish dress that the sisters have given her once she arrived; her trunk had never followed despite their promises; and now this is the only piece of clothing she owned. She looked away quietly."

A base layer was painted in gouache over recycled bogus paper, then scanned and digitally remastered using dodge, a glass texture (windows) and a set of watercolour brushes.

The room was meant to have a dreary effect, but through the cracked windows there would be a way. In the novel she has somewhat of a love story with a boy named Will, and he saved her indirectly from her prison. He's a golden boy essentially, what's not for her to love?
