Peacock Feather

Can't control myself, have to show off again. Just found out I won second place with this quilled tiara (second place?! - honestly, what's the world coming to?!). Didn't get the Silhouette Cameo (doesn't matter, I have the Portrait machine), but won the Mint and accessory kit as well as a mysterious gift package.



Meanwhile, beautiful Wicked Wednesday ATC blog have presented us with a colour palette this week. I immediately saw a peacock amongst these colours. Here is one feather using 1.5mm (1/16") narrow strips.


This is the palette to work from:


Could I also dare to sneak this ATC into Moo Mania & More for this fortnight's theme - Summer? Don't know how summery a peacock is, but the colours sure are. Anyway, if I am off topic, please feel free to remove me. But I know you won't 'cause you love me  ;)    Ha, ha, just joking  :)

    1. Thank you muchly, Ike! What topped it - probably a heap of 'likes' from Facebook, which I avoid, hence don't deserve first place. Thank you so much for your nice feedback!
