Baby Spanners
The dinosaur challenge this week reminded me of an image I put together some time ago. I'm always amazed at the way mother Crocs hold young in their mouth, without hurting them. This comprised a baking tray full of sharp sand, some spanners and a hard boiled egg. Any comments welcome.

Ha ha, I like the rustic look, and I somehow thought that metal thing was Pac-man getting ready to eat some eggs.

Re: Baby Spanners
Thanks everyone.

Anna - I hard boiled one egg and peeled it, to resemble a reptile egg. This was then duplicated. The cracks were drawn with the pencil.

That's great. I'm sure I've seem it somewhere before; was it featured in a magazine at any time?

Thanks David. Yes, I sent it to Advanced Photoshop on the off chance when it first started, not thinking they would publish it, but to my surprise they did.
