Peacock Affinity

I have an affinity for Peacocks.  I love the live birds, though their crowing can be a bit disconcerting if you have never heard one before.  
I also love to look at artist renderings of Peacocks, from cute cartoon images, abstract images, art deco jewelry and I especially love Peacocks rendered in stained glass.
I have been working on a series of Peacocks. The Peacock design is the same, but the size and layouts have changed.

Peacock, An Art Deco Glory, was the first in the series. It is a 28" x 34" applique wall hanging.

 
Peacock Glory is a Queen Size quilt 80"x 98" made for my mother-in-law.  It will soon be a pattern.
