I don't understand how this would work.

HAH! I love how a mouse is powering the start of the trap.



And for those that don't understand, I see this:



1. Mouse runs - food falls down

2. Bird eats food - lays egg

3. Egg moves down the trap - falls in beaker

4. Beaker falls - scissor cuts string

5. Trap falls - mouse caught!

i like it, and indeed, the irony is great.



but for the 2d contest, your supposed to not submit till the deadline, and your supposed to send in all your stuff to threadies.com (the guy who runs the contest). you should contact him to make sure this will still be counted in the contest

The ballooon holds up the bird's tail as he lays the egg, I just added it in to spice up the design

I can't see where the balloon is neccesary at all. but I still love it.

One of your best! Looks great being so large on the shirt and I love the simplicity.



Only thing I'd say to change would be to sharpen the water edges (in the beaker) and ditch the white stroke on it (the top part of the water, not the beaker).



Lastly, that thing IS a beaker, right?

Science failed me.
