The Background

The background is finally done!

Tomorrow

I tried to finish all the black background today and did not quite make it.

Moving on

I worked on a lot of black today and am trying to fill in the center of the feathers. Then, I couched more of the feather on the left side.

Starting feathers

I have started the feathers and am couching #8 Kreinik on the lines with #4 Kreinik to follow all the lines and curves.

More beads

I finished the beads on this section of the tail and then worked more of the black background behind the feathers.

Starting Feathers

Started the train of feathers on the peacock. And, worked more black in the center.

Two pictures

I completed the bird's body and then worked on the black skip tent background.
