This one is actually the backside of sample #2, which I discovered with a mirror when I was examining sample #3.

| Could be leaves. Could be feathers! |
It required a little tweaking; I
- Retied my treadles the opposite of what they were before (very easy to do with my new lamm-top treadle tie-up system.) This put the back of the fabric on the top.
- Reversed the treadling order to give the leaves a "right side up" appearance.
I'm quite happy with this sample. I like that the white weft outlines the leaves and ribs of the leaf, even though perhaps the white makes it harder to make out the leaves. I'm thinking a darker color would outline the leaves better, although I like the white because it's the color of snow. The other option would be darker warp colors, but then muted is the color of winter as well. I do like that the random winter color palette for the warp is much more prominent than in the other samples. This is more the look I was wanting from the beginning.
I'm definitely happy with Sample #4. Onward!
