A Crewelwork Peacock
Designed by Cathy and worked on pure linen twill with Appleton crewel wools, the peacock is another project that was inspired by a visit to India in 2015. The embroidery also incorporates the use of silk & metallic threads and seed beads. The embroidery itself measures 16 cm x 16 cm. There are more photographs from previous workshops in the Gallery below.
Suitability - Intermediate
Suitable for anyone with some experience of stitching. As a guide only, you should already be able to work stem stitch, french knots and blanket/buttonhole stitch. For those with no experience, the Pomegranate Pillow Crewelwork is recommended as a starter piece.
