 The bird nest is either from a robin or a dove, I don't remember which. Made some peanut butter balls (eggs) from peanut butter, powdered sugar and butter. Had to keep adjusting the ingredients so it would sort of hold its shape. Stopped to pick up some feathers at the craft store to add to the nest. Took about 20 shots until I got it right.

Cropped, auto levels, bright/contrast, saturation, resized, unsharp mask, cloned a little around the edge of the egg to fix up the shape, blur and dodge to smooth it out and put the highlights back in, added border.
