And the peacock has a partial tail...............

I'm sorry that the antique gold beads look brown in the photo .... next time I'll try shooting it outdoors... I'm getting to use my gold braids...


I did do the grid on the back with contrasting thread and I also padded the largest feather with felt and it did give a great effect but as I start beading it wasn't as effective so I only did that one feather.  I will try it again on another block in this RR.

    I also agree that we're looking at a very fine peacock. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Works of art do take time to make.

    He's going to be strutting for sure to show off his lovely tail. And nice to see that the artistic talent runs in the family with your granddaughter :).

    This peacock is so much fun Ger! I'm loving the buttons as the "eyes" of the feathers...and he's looking so regal in gold.
