this is my first source only creation.
no other images were used to create this clock.
image-adjustments-brightness/contrast. to darken bread settings.-35 -70-100.. to lighten+35+70+100
I used custom shapes for fancy work -link provided for shapes( i was given this set as a gift ,however, i managed to be emailed the link )
to colour bread i used hue /saturation- flowers and tree
to cut shapes i mainly used pen tool. only because i am learning how to extend my use of that particular tool.
i will provide a basic SBS when i can put one together. there are a large amount of steps used to create this picture. (3 years and 318 days ago)
loved it, it's a fave!! 
Very creative idea. Cuckoo looks flat. More shadow agains the wall would be good. I would have only two weights (with more burning/dodging to convey their cylindrical nature) and then position the pendulum so it can be seen. Traditionally cuckoo clocks are symmetrical so the upper half is disconcerting. The left-side eaves have a different vanishing point than the (correct) base. (The right eave could tilt down just a tad.) Reply »

NOW put that writing ability in an SBS.. hehehe.. It's Okay.. we get the point.. though I can see some perspective issues..(The fencing decor accross the face goes a little to far and the roof follows) not a horrible thing.. but something you'd like to fix so it doesn't mess up the balance of the fun creation you have here.. very IMAGINATIVE Reply »
