   Sorry Jim, I'm taking this as a typo, and I'm assuming you mean 
'man-made'?

  Ah, the complicated bits, (well, apart from the planter-box, that is). 
Yes, I like density in a scene. Cram it in. Give the viewer something to 
look at. (Although, I really like clever, simplistic scenes too).

  You see those three knots on the front of the basket? Those three knots 
were worse than the ivy. There was no way I could produce the amount of 
knots that were needed to complete the basket - wings just can't deal with 
really *heavy* models and those three knots were 'heavy'. ;)

  Side note: I'm naffed with losing my models so easily, but in reality, I'm 
glad because I know I can do them again, and much better - I learnt from 
them.

  What I lost from this project:

  The basket, (wipes sweat from brow...)  ;)
  The flowers, (crass, but the later image version was much better with 
Daffodils instead of Iris').
  The beetle, (I loved that little dung beetle).
  The Blue Tit, (you wouldn't believe the hassle I had with that - well, yes 
you would...)  ;)
  The Ivy, (man, that was trouble - try and duplicate the same, you'll see 
what I mean)
  The Butterfly. (That was my pride and joy, I was 'really' happy with 
that).
  The garden gloves!!!! Nooooo........!   Ah well...

 Thanks for enjoying this one, there's more to come, and hopefully, better.
