One down...eleven to go!

I have been quietly working on my bird project each day and have finally caught up on the photography. Taking the pictures is proving to be the hardest part of the whole thing. I can't get enough natural light and the flash makes the colors look funny. I took the last batch outside, but now it is either too rainy or too hot.

Without further ado - I present the June collection of birds...

A June-ful of birds. Don't they look cute all lined up on their calendar square?

For those who might want more details, here is the photo mosaic with each bird's individual portraits. If you click on the date at the bottom of the photo mosaic, it should take you to the Flickr page where you can read my comments for that particular one.

june 17, june 18, june 19, june 20, june 21, june 22, june 23, june 24, june 25, june 26, june 27, june 28, june 29, june 30

I'm still making birds each day so I'll update July soon!

The "Daily Bird" project has hatched!

So far, so good. As I said in my first post, I am planning to make a fabric bird daily for a year. Every.Single.Day. Three hundred and sixty-five birds. As of June 17, I have not missed a day. (Well, to be honest, I haven't made today's yet because I've been figuring out how to make a Flickr mosaic. But I will. I promise!)

In case you missed it in the parenthetical phrase above, I have also learned how to make one of those cool photo mosaics you see all over blogland! It was much easier than I thought it would be, particularly if you use the secret weapon found at BigHugeLabs.com. Go here if you want to try it.

So, without further ado...my photo mosaic of my daily birds....

1. june 1, 2. june 2, 3. june 3, 4. june 4, 5. june 5, 6. june 6, 7. june 7, 8. june 8, 9. june 9, 10. june 10, 11. june 11, 12. june 12, 13. june 13, 14. june 14, 15. june 15, 16. june 16

If you want the details, you can click on the dates at the bottom to go to the larger picture and read that bird's description.

I'd love your comments. I think I have set my blog so that you don't have to register to comment but let me know if you have a problem.
