MY PEACOCK WALL HANGING MADE WITH FIRST AID COTTON

This peacock wall hanging was made for the first time as our school project........... and mine was most attracted and appreciated among all the other student ........... my craft sister [I studied in christian school were we call our nuns as sister] appreciated me for the work and I became her pet student . .......... I used the be one of the craft leader along with Mary Subeela my classmate............. After my school days I kept on doing it once in 5 yrs [ this wall hanging is my favorite wall hanging among all those I have made till date ]as the cotton loses its stiffness the looks will change in course of time and u can give a new look to it by just taking away the old one and cut new using the old as a catalogue for new peacock............this one shown in my blog was done before 5 yrs and its looks is not clear in this photo ......... I have stuck blue stones in feathers...............but it is not clear so decided to give it a new look soon .................
