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!
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!
