This top hatted cutie is Red, Gnome of the Robins.  I love the European Robin.  We have one in the back garden that has so much spunk.  He chases off the flocks of house sparrows that invade the feeder.  I decided that my robin would wear a tipped over top hat if he could.  
I pulled out all the stops with this one using chocolate and coral merino, shiny hand dyed coral tussah silk, fawn bamboo and rose fibres.  As always, the fibres are highlighted with gold angelina sparkle, brown and coral trilobal.
