Warping and beginning to weave the sparrow

After the whole form has been assembled, I begin to add the warp threads. On the head I stitch the warp threads into the buttonhole stitches around the eyes and beak. 
Once the warp is all in place, I begin to weave at the top of the head, stitching the wool into the stitches around the eyes and beak.
I use the coloured markings as a guide for the placing the coloured wool as I work along the back and wings.
