Deep in the woods, an ancient forest has become coated with spongy moss and lush green foliage. Here a Green Woodpecker perches on the old branch surveying his surrounds.

A number of techniques and mediums were used in the creation of this piece. The background is fabric painted and the Wagtail, branch, leaves and moss were achieved through quilting, applique, embroidery, textile techniques. These techniques create the different textures from the warm feathers to the delicate leaves. 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.
