I've been wanting to do that peacock for weeks, but I couldn't resist any longer. It's just lovely. Those stitches are called double broad diagonal crosses. Because the peacock was so large I wanted a small motif for the second one. I love the mauve colours, they bring out the pinky bits in the fabric perfectly. I wish I were a better photographer so I could show you what I mean.

Travel memories dried out, and most of the stitches are okay now, but the gold metallic is still all funny. I think I'll just restitch them.
