A Vintage Peacock to Embroider

Peacock

Simple stitches and a few beads were used on this design.  I chose my colors in order to have them pop on the black background and didn't worry too much whether they were correct colors for a peacock or not.  My only requirement was that there be a little turquoise involved.  All of the outlining was done using a stabbed back stitch except on the gold area around the eyes where I used an outline stitch and straight stitches at the bottom curves.  The ribbon embroidery flowers and leaves are done using 1/8" ribbon and straight stitches.  Easy Peasy!!  I don't enjoy working on anything too involved...quick and dirty does it for me.

I'm not too sure what I'm going to do with this.  The mood just struck to embroider a peacock.  I think I'll do a few motifs individually and then join them somehow to make a crazy quilt wall hanging.  Black background fabrics throughout, of course!

I have provided a full size design for you to use – just click on image to enlarge for printing.  There is also another peacock in my design section if you're new to my blog.
