TAST III - Detached Chain
I saw a beautiful peacock while looking for a motif for someone, and decided I wanted to use the detached chain [not buttonhole] to adorn the beauty! I printed the photo and used it as a pattern to sketch my design onto the silk. The threads are primarily Vikki Clayton's hand-dyed silk (ordered more yesterday) and a few seed beads for the tail feathers.
Due to cold temperatures and freezing precipitation my work was delayed two hours this morning, then I got a call saying we would be closed all day, so, I got to finish the project.
