my plan backfired...

I decided after some thought that I can't do the book in a pop-up form. The floors are just way too flimsy, and I'm afraid that with putting any figures and furniture on it would make it look too weird, so I decided to redo all of the insides. So, now the book will just have flat pages, and hopefully it would look better. I'm still debating whether or not I should set it up the same way in class like I was originally planning, or if it would look better if I just sat down and described each house while flipping through the pages. I really like the trees I made though, but I don't think it would look cohesive with the flat pages, and I'm not even sure now if the book will even be able to stay open.

Any opinions?

I'll most likely post some pictures tomorrow, but I'm starting to wonder if I really should since it seems like I post too much....oh well.

*Edit*.....
I completely forgot about something! Yesterday morning when I was at the bus stop with all of the paintings that were needed for yesterday's critique, this random guy came up to me and asked me if I would like to show some of my paintings for this organization for local artists in north Hudson county. He gave me their website so I could contact them, and I definitely think that I would send them some pictures of some of my work. It doesn't hurt to try! Plus, since it's a local thing, I won't have to deal with all of the art snobs in Manhattan... or at least for the moment.
