Accordion and Altered book update

During the past two weeks I have been working on my mock-up and have come to a design that I am happy with, I also put the light-sensitive emulsion onto my screen so my next step is to oil up my image and expose the screen. I am hoping to get that done this week and begin printing.

I have decided on what to do with my altered book assignment. The book I chose is "The Undomestic Goddess" By Sophia Kinsella, a book I once loved and now despise. Due to my despise of the book I have been looking into ways that I could alter the novel in a way that makes it unreadable and had the idea to bake it into a loaf of bread since the main character learns how to cook and bake, I thought it would lend well to the story. I am also an avid baker so it also relates to something I am quite interested in and the idea of incorporating baking into art has been something I have wanted to play with for a while so this would be a great opportunity to do that.
