Bird-Friendly Window Art Challenge

Hey folks! Hope you're keeping well & hydrated this summer ~ ☀️🍦🍉

I spent a few days this month working on a fun art contest project prompted by Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary. They put a call out for any creative bird-loving people to submit art to be put on the outside of their window to prevent bird collisions. One person will be chosen next month and receive a “bird-friendly nature kit”—of course I had to apply!

One challenge in designing this specific type of window art is that, in order to be effective, there can't be any spaces more than 2 inches apart—birds are able to fly through some amazingly small spots!

Here's a tiled version I made to cover more area, with a dark background so you can see all of the space-filler doodles & dots:

You'll see that I recycled almost all of the creatures from last month's art into this piece to save time, and added some mushrooms and a red-flowering currant to fill out the remaining panels. I also played around some more with my new-favourite mirroring tool to make the symmetrical frames and blue doodlies. It was fun!
