MORE WORK IN PROGRESS

At first I photographed an actual nest from my garden but after a tutorial with Alan he suggested that I make the nest out of paper which I then did cutting up many, many strips of paper, I am glad i'm not a bird.I think in fact the paper nest is a great improvement!
It is after this image on the left that things start to get a little messy. I think the addition of a syringe might have been the straw that broke the camels back, it just would not fit on, but perhaps unfortunately, I made it! With letters seeping out of the end spelling the title, they would not fit on either but I MADE THEM, oh dear.  It got more complicated than that as after a tutorial with Neil we decided that the image looked warmer and had more about it in the photographs that I had taken charting it's progress, so I decided that the final one would be a photograph not a scan, not a bad idea as I was having to scan it two halves to fit it in the scanner. I duly photographed the image with the addition of the syringe and the letters, but I think because of the size of it and shadows, and tripods and lamps, not necessarily working together as they should, it just looked unprofessional, it did not work, in the way the quick photos worked it was not one nor the other. So I scanned all the letters in separately and applied them in photoshop, while feeling the pressure of time weighing heavily on me...
