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

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

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/
ReplyDeletelovely work, the peacock feather looked so real....

ReplyDeleteHi Deepa.. Beautiful embroidery of a peacock feather, it does look so real and the colors does it justice for sure.

Laurette.
It looks like a real feather. So beautifully done. Really appreciate the talent, the intricancy.
