Dawn Elizableth said ... I understand your obsession with peacocks. We live in the country (sort of) and one farm has peacocks roaming around during the summer with the geese, goats, and ducks. It's so cool.


Blue said ... Oh my goodness!

I can not wait to see what you do with that fabric and those sequins.

Please don't forget to share pics of that, it's bound to rock harder than the images dancing in my head (like some funky acid flash back - had I ever taken acid but as still just as obsessed with crafts, sequins and the colour of the ones you chose!)

Laurel said ... word, honey.

Peacocks rock my world. Everything you posted? Fabulous.

I was at K mart the other day and saw a peacock iron plant ornament. ALMOST got it, but I needed to buy laundry detergent instead. *sigh*


Blaize said ... The colors of their tails
Were like the leaves themselves
Turning in the wind,
In the twilight wind.
They swept over the room,
Just as they flew from the boughs of the hemlocks
Down to the ground.
I heard them cry -- the peacocks.
Was it a cry against the twilight
Or against the leaves themselves
Turning in the wind,
Turning as the flames
Turned in the fire,
Turning as the tails of the peacocks
Turned in the loud fire,
Loud as the hemlocks...

--From "Domination of Black" by Wallace Stevens


tamdoll said ... You just reminded me about some sheer peacock fabric that I have. I've got to dig it out now and do something creative with it.


Javajem said ... I'm a huge peacock fan too! I Love that fabric you found! How cool is that! I just imagine the creations you will come up with!!


Marietta said ... if you ask me - that is how one's day should be spent - finding all the little things that brighten the day - crap i think i am getting sappy! :)


macati said ... I love peacocks and I had forgotten all about them... thank you for reminding and great choice of pictures!!!!

MatschMomma said ... Have you seen pictures of the albino peacock? You can find it by googling it... We love it at our house :0)


Kuky said ... I'm sure you know what a total goober I am on occasion. The gooberness reared it's head while reading your post.

I started reading it on Bloglines. And the link to your other posts there doesn't have the spaces in it, like this, "peacocksherebefore". I started reading it as one word and clicked on it thinking it was about ice cream. Does that make any sense whatsoever?! I believe I was thinking about sherbet. :-D

Now I'm in the mood for ice cream and to see peacocks. I think we'll go to the zoo. And have some ice cream.


Nichol Brinkman said ... Peacocks are fun, really fun. Where do people find peacock stuff like from your first photo? Amazing.


pungsnotded said ... Peacocks, Yay!
I LOVE those fat quarters!


Jessie Mae said ... I live not far from the Los Angeles Arboretum, where they have peacocks roaming the grounds. Sometimes they escape, and people who live in the nearby neighborhoods will find them wandering through their yards.


The Caffeinated Crafter said ... I saw something today that totally made me think of this entry... :) Keep your eyes on your mailbox. :)


Angelina said ... I love the peacock planter thingie.

Peacocks are beautiful-have you seen the ones wandering around the Portland zoo?


normanack said ... Weird. I just dreamed last night about the amazing popularity of peacocks in crafting and art, and I was loving it.

 
Shannon said ... I finally finished my peacock drawing and posted a picture of it... stop over, check it out and let me know what you think! I definitely want your opinion on her.
