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 with seed beads as an optional decoration. The embroidery itself measures 16 cm x 16 cm. There are more photographs from previous workshops in the Gallery below.
Suitability - Advanced
Suitable for anyone with some experience of stitching. As a guide, you should already be able to work stem stitch, French knots and blanket stitch. For those with no experience of crewelwork, the Crewelwork Chrysanthemums or Pomegranate Pillow Crewelwork workshops are recommended.
