So many Pea Fowl. Not all the Cocks had their tail feathers fully grown, but they are still so beautiful.

I’ve started working more with feathers in my felted accessories. Yesterday I finished this new piece which is a combo needle felted then wet felted base, stone beads sewn around the edge and then peacock feathers applied with needle felting. I wore it in my hair today to see how it would feel and work. It needs a better chop stick and would probably work best in thicker, curly hair, but overall I love the way it looks on the head. I’m gearing up to reopen my Etsy shop, so hoping for lots of input the next few days on new things I’m making. Thanks!

Birds are so lucky to have such natural beauty! They don't need embellishments!
