Reader's Embroidery - Peacock Feather

One of my good friends , Mahalakshmi, mailed me the pictures of an embroidered peacock feather. Here it is...


I've left the picture large enough for you to click on it and enjoy the view :) She has not used any fancy threads - just simple cotton strands. But the color selection is perfect, don't you think? The stitches used are the every day ones - stem stitch and blanket stitch . Do click on the pic for the close up view. I love the way those lines curl.So natural. Lovely work, Mahalakshmi .


Love,luck and sunshine,
Deepa

  13. Your comment prompted me to have a glimpse of your work. Though we appreciate your attempt to replicate a peacock feather, kindly compare the images side by side and draw your own conclusions. Also, a peacock feather offers immense imagination opportunities and its not proprietary. I now have a blog and I welcome you to visit my blog site at http://mahaskills.blogspot.com/
