Christmas Peacock

It is time to start making Christmas presents! The first one is for my Mom. She loves peacocks, so i thought I would design her a brooch.  I finished the sample today. Here are the parts.



   And here it is finally assembled. I ordered some beautifully hand dyed thread today on Etsy. I will post pictures when I receive it. I used sized 10 and 40 cotton thread for the sample but the final will be made with 20 and 50.
