Ta da! Bird Number Ten!

This one's a red-bellied woodpecker and is what started the whole bird series in the first place. The reference photo (which I don't have permission to post, here) is what inspired it all.

But he came last, because I couldn't figure out how to make the snow. Turns out - it was french knots!

I was supposed to be working on my bird, but then I got this idea for something crafty. (More on that, later)...

But eventually, I got back to my bird.

The bird I'm working on this week is one that I've wanted to make since the beginning - but I didn't know how. After having done the Fairy Wren, I sure know how to make a french knot -and realized that that was what I needed to know to make all the snow on those branches.

More on the berries and the giveaway, after the jump!

At various points, having made various birds, various people have said to me "this is my favourite one!" Well guess what?

This is MY favourite one! I love the background, the way the tree branches look like the evergreen bark I remember; the needle-y foliage and my bird. I love it, even if I do say so myself!

So, let's check out this bird, shall we?
