Further development.....

After the success of last sample, I am trying out a different colour combination. It is the same black cotton warp, black cashmere weft, and a white silk SS weft. The white will crinkle up and look more like snow.

I am also introducing the highlight colours of the tree and bird but I have to test out what is the most effective way of doing that. 

This first attempt is just adding a new colour on top of the 2 base weft threads.
