mmmm...toast.

i haven't been able to figure out how to arrange the pictures in exactly the order i want them, but this will have to do.  i thought maybe by posting this project on here, i might have more of a motivation to finish it.  i made these two books over a year ago, and i probably think about them every day.  i wanted them to serve as toast in a toaster-like box.  i actually made the toaster part right after school this summer, but haven't gotten around to upholstering it because of all the other stuff i've been working on.  it will be upholstered with the fabric below.  each of the books has thirteen folded cards inside.  after going through many ideas, i think i've decided that the first book will have the beginning of thirteen short stories, and the endings of all the stories will be in the second book.  i think i want one illustration for each half of each story, on the fronts of the cards.  that leaves me three sides of the cards to write.  i included images of past work because i am thinking of combining some of these techniques for the illustrations in these books.  my next step, other than upholstering, is to write these thirteen stories.  when i have more ideas gathered, i'll share.  for now, i share with you the burden of unfinished work.  enjoy!
