Work-in-progress: almost finished altering the books

The end is in sight. I've cut open the covers of these altered books...

Just have to add the frames, tear the front niches and place the images I've painted recently.

I decided to pair the messenger cyclist with my little reader and her hiker friend.

Remember the travelers and their caravan from my Instagram feed?

They're the lead-in to this scene of an old man teaching little boys, as the sun rises behind them.

My goal is to finish all three by the end of the weekend... I may need your encouragement to get over the finish line, though. On Monday, ask me on Facebook if I've completed them.
