The top layer, polyester chiffon was dyed in a water and brown dye solution and manipulated with rock salt to create a treelike texture. Wool was felted and machine felted onto chiffon to create Bambi's spots.

Silk ribbon was dyed in natural tones, using a lot of water to dilute the colour palette. Hand embroidered onto a dyed cotton bodice. Bodice lined with brown polyester.
