 Deoxyribonucleic acid

So I spent a goofy number of hours making polymer clay balls and stamping words with alphabet rubber stamps. Then I baked them along with some "rods" for the center sections. Another hour or so figuring out how to wire it all together in a way that will keep it all flexible.
I taped in place between a broom handle and the studio floor and started figuring out the lighting. Too bright was boring, too dark confusing, too colorful distracting, etc, etc, etc,. 1 day of prep, 3 shooting sessions, and a good deal of "experimenting" in PS to find just the right processing for it.
Hope it shows well. :)

Sweet concept. And you're ever so crafty!
Nice pairing of colors, the blue text goes well with the orange/yellow background, which itself looks great too.

Cute, and I recognized the acronym immediately! Hooray for that. I like the color choice you selected for the background. The bottom border is a little distracting as it's twice as wide as the sides. Just an observation. Good luck in the challenge.

Thats a funny representation of DNA. If only it were that easy to map it.
