Thank you Meg for all your work in organizing this and to everyone else for participating.
It is really interesting to different design process and results!
Apologies for the really dark/shadowy photo of the piece but it was already dark by the time I got home from work and can only use the flash!

That's an amazing transformation in the wet finish! Fabulous, Sampling!!
I love your translation of the photo and the final result is amazing Xxx
OMG, I absolutely LOVE it! An EXCELLENT representation of the photo!
Can you share how you achieved the points, or have you already done that in your earlier blog posts?
Thank you everyone!
I was so tired last night by the time I finished weaving and tying the warp ends that I threw it into the washing machine at 30C at express wash. As soon as I pressed the start button, I thought Ooops, maybe it should have been the gentler wool wash cycle. In the end, it worked and felted the perfect amount!
Peg,
The points are achieved with clasp weft technique. See Kaz's video here: http://curiousweaver.id.au/archives/107
and a much earlier post from here:

Your translation of the image is great and i especially like the hint of red..like the bird, it will surprise as it is worn.
So, so beautiful! I especially love the chirpy robin-red highlights ; ) I can't wait to see and feel it!
Congrats!
xx
I really like this! It was great to see your results in finishing with the materials you used.
And - I love clasped weft.
Stunning - and the feel in real life is divine. Congratulations on a wonderful piece. I love everything about it!
Oh yes, I love the little glimpses of red, like seeing a robin hop about the garden in midwinter... Beautiful work.
Really beautiful interpretation of the photo. The texture and those spots of colour are really exciting.
It looks amazing - of course I didn't expect anything different after seeing and feeling the piece 'in the flesh'.
Wonderful and very inspiring.
