Seems that crows feature in my life a lot lately. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the name of city I live in means "place of many crows", altho' I think they must be feeling the effects of the heat-wave we are experiencing at present too, as there are none to be seen or heard....even the sparrows seem to have gone into hibernation!
This ATC has a "peeled paper" B/G; a left-over from an earlier swap, distressed with Ranger's Weathered Wood Distress Ink and the music is a scrap of a paper napkin from my scrap box...on my desk, of course!
I 3D mounted the egg image with double sided tape then added the "nest" made from a piece of medical gauze (thanx Martina) that I adhered with "Royal Coat Decoupage Finish", which is like a mix between PVC and a fluid gel medium.
I gave it another coat of that when it was in place to give it body and to stand "up" and "out" and to shape it more like a nest, then when dry (trusty heat gun)slapped or sloshed a bit of acrylic paint on it for colour.
A black German Scrap wing, a teeny, tiny rhinestone eye and a feather in the nest finished it off nicely and he was ready to fly off to his new owner.
I hope he copes with the heat and the dust...maybe he will have to do a stop-over landing in a river along the way to cool off...vbg
