Having landed on the Hawthorn tree this robin gorges his way through the red, juicy berries that dangle temptingly just calling to be eaten.

A number of techniques and mediums were used in the creation of this piece. The background is fabric painted and the Robin, berries and leaves were achieved through quilting, applique, embroidery, techniques. These techniques create the different textures from the warm feathers of the robin to the smooth berries. Unfortunately, the three-dimensional relief doesn't show particularly well in the photos, so please take a look at the depth of the piece to get an idea of the overall effect.
