Rainbow Peacock FRAMED! April 25, 2012

Post by Jewels526 »

Hello all. My mother-in-law has requested that I make her this cross-stitch. It’s called Rainbow Peacock by Elsa Williams. I started it about three weeks ago and have made good progress.

Here’s what it will look like when it’s finished:

Here’s what I have done so far:

It’s pretty psychedelic, and definitely not something I would stitch on my own- but she loves it.

Great start on it, and I agree it's pretty psychedelic--definitely something very different. I hope you don't have too much trouble with it--looks like it may get a bit tedious with confetti!!

I have seen this in a couple of magazines that I get and I thought wow that is great. But I would never stitch it myself. It looks so cool. Can't wait to see your progress on this.

Wonderful work so far. :applesauce: :applesauce:
