FMP- OrnitholoSEE re-evaluation

I'd probably hit a low point with this project, but a new dawn & new day and i'm not as miserable about it all as i originally sounded. 

I put it down to to frustrations with what i was making VS what i initially planned to make, the (fast disappearing) amount of time left to do it - coupled with the fact that it feels like i'm spending every waking hour in front my mac, making slow progress when i really want to make something physical & a bit more instantaneous. I've made my bed, so i guess ill have to lie in it.

After an assessment of how much work left to do against the time frame to do it i got myself into a more positive mind set and went into beast-mode; spending the weekend solidly sketching and refining the linework of the 13 remaining birds, achieving my goal of 20 birds, all ready for scanning and on to the vectoring stage. I made more progress in two days than i have done in 4 weeks. It's funny what a looming deadline and the very real fear of failure can do to the motivation.

I also put the new enthusiasm down to the fact i stopped thinking about every tiny detail of the content so much, and whether it meant anything to anyone or if it was 'personal' enough - and just did it how i wanted to do it! 

Being able to spend a chunk of time drawing without being in front my computer was also much needed - and appreciated. Due to my bank holiday efforts I've put myself in a bit of a healthier position in regards to making the printing deadline for a Blurb or Photobox publicaiton.

I will still need to design accompanying cover image/logo,text and intro pics, so i'm not patting myself on the back too much yet.
