Portrait of a nest is a series of photographs I did today with the aim of creating images specifically for use in my collages. I don't have photoshop so I created these images by using a white sheet for the background and the black and white and 'contrast' functions on Picassa. I am especially pleased with the bottom image!
I made these eggs a while back by rolling lumps of air drying clay into egg shapes. I would love some real eggs to photograph (they're on my wishlist!) I have to nests that my kids found me, they were so excited to find them because they knew I would be stoked. Which ofcourse I am!! This nest is actually the thrush nest that featured in my 'baby birds' photo a few months back. The mother thrush was kind enough to leave it for me when her babies had outgrown it :)

Lovely nests but be carefuk with bird mites - not sure if they have them in NZ.
Get paint.net - it is free off internet.

It is wonderful.
In my whole life I have yet to find a deserted nest,rats,lol.
These photographs are excellent, Lisa. I was fortunate enough to find a nest on the ground last fall while working on Kings Court Cube ... I got a few photos but I don't think they're very good (I better check again). Within a week or so, the local teenagers had stomped it flat. Who says recycling isn't at the top of their agenda? Oh yes, heed John's warning! Those are nasty li'l critters!
