Project 1- Fantasy Appliance Progress

I think I might go back to my original plan because I found a vertical tanning booth that looks exactly like the inside of a toaster (I can't make this up) and so I'm thinking I'm going to go back to my original plan of making doors on the outside of the toaster, instead of on the inside.

Project 1- Fantasy Appliance

Image
  This is my current progress so far. I have mainly been wanting to just get the shape of the toaster first before I started doing anything fancy. I have started on some of the reflections and shiny parts of the buttons and the metal, which has been tricky because I'm still learning how to use the gradient tool, but I'm getting the hang of it. I have been thinking about what I want to combine my toaster with and I've been leaning towards a building, using the leaver as an elevator, or a diving board, something that springs into the air etc. As for what kind of building, I've been trying to thinking of places that relate to heat/ heating things, so maybe a tanning bed company? Not sure yet, still fleshing things out. But I like where I'm headed.  I have mainly been trying to work on the reflections of the buttons and metal on my toaster. There is still a lot to do and more to figure out but I'm looking forward to seeing what I come up with.

Project 3- The Cyclical Nature of Things- Update

Image
In classic Kara fashion, I have decided to do something completely different than I initially planned... BOOKS! I really don't know why I didn't think of this idea sooner, because books are a very cyclical thing in my life. There is never a moment when I don't have a book to read, I'm never reading at least one book, in fact currently I'm reading three. I finally feel like I have a story to tell with this project which is very exciting for me, considering last time we talked I hated everything I had so far. I have an image in my head already of what I want this to look like, so I have a starting place which is already more than I had before. Very excited, pictures will be coming soon :)
