A little bit of progress.

 I was hoping to achieve so much this school holiday, but as I have not been firing on all cylinders, I've not made as much progress with my white peacock as I had hoped.  I have at last finished stitching the individual feathers on to the wings, so they can now be stitched onto the bird.

Today, his crest was finished after playing with silk fibres and some experimenting. 

Tail feathers embellished with washers covered with buttonhole stitch, sequins and beads.
