Here is the first panel

Should I color in the bird as well do you think? I rather like it with just the fruit but I am not sure how clear it is.

 I tried pinning these with specimen pins but the ones I have are too flimsy. Right now these are just up with masking tape so I will need to go back in and resecure them a bit better. It I make a hole with a push pin first, I can get the specimen pints to stay but they don't hold much weight. I think what I am going to do is just tape everything down better and then add the pins more for the aesthetic.

I also want to add embroidery floss connecting the birds and the plants they eat to make it a little more connected and network-y. I was going to do this using the pins to kind of spread the threads out a bit better but I will figure out something else.

I am also not entire sold on the set up yet. Right now I have the birds in the same order as the other wall but I don't know if I like it. I might try mirroring it and playing with the set up of the plants a little more. I don't like that you can't read my notes on the ones that are up higher. Maybe I will try to order them more by where you actually see the fruit height-wise.

It shouldn't take long to sort everything out once I can physically be there for more than the ten minutes I was to stick these on the wall.
