How to make a fabric peacock

When looking for a new project I tend to ask myself what the biggest challenges are, and then try to overcome them. In fact I think that the majority of my enjoyment comes from problem solving. So after finishing the bird pattern, I asked myself "what is the most difficult bird to make". In my view, that seems to be a peacock.

So I searched online for fabric peacocks. I managed to find a couple with their tails down, but none with their tails up. A challenge was afoot!

Combining various techniques that I've developed from my flower making, this is the finished thing.



What do you think?

Now the real challenge is to get the peacocks seen. Searching google keywords, it turns out very few people are asking "how to make fabric peacocks?".

So I guess I'll have to try and promote it myself. Not quite sure how?
