Peacock Feather design?

Hi all,

I've just recently been invited to a friend's wedding in July. The invitation was a simple purple card with a lovely peacock feather attached on the side. I was hoping to stitch a little sampler for her with just a bit of text (names, dates, etc.) and a peacock feather but I can't find a chart!

If the worst comes to the worst then I can probably scan the actual feather and stick the image into my cross-stitch software but I was hoping someone had done the hard work for me.

Does anyone know where I can get a chart of a single peacock feather? Or have a chart that they'd be willing to send me?

Thanks in advance!

Flo

I have seen one fairly recently but cannot think where. Will get my brain working on it for you.

Here's a lovely peacock feather freebie from DMC (LINK).

Or if you wanted a whole peacock but quick and easy while still looking stunning (i.e. one colour) you might like this freebie (LINK).

Or another monochrome freebie that you might like for a wedding sampler, take a look at this peacock heart (LINK).

This is far from simple and small, but I love it!

If she is a stitcher, perhaps an idea for a birthday pressie.

Could have sworn somewhere in all my stash there was a pattern, but no luck.
However, I did find this on e-bayPeacock Elegance by True Colors.

I was thinking of the ones that Agi put on.

Thanks Agi for stopping my brain from hurting.

Thanks Everyone for all the fab ideas!

I like the chart that Agi linked to but also that Peacock Heart that Kell linked to so now I have to choose!

Didn't want anything too big as I don't want to be away from my Starry Night one....
