Passion for Peacocks

I’m just to tired to write an intelligent post tonight so I thought I would share some of the new images I have filed in my “Peacock Obsession” file – enjoy!

    As soon as I saw your post on Peacocks I thought about the Kansas City showhouse. The master bedroom has peacock feathers stenciled on the walls. Sounds scary, but they are only a couple of shades darker than the pale greyish-lavendar of the walls. Maybe they'll show pictures of it after the tour is over. It was soothing, but the colors had a lot to do with that. Each feather was as tall as the wall.

    Love your peacock post ! I did my Mom's room in a fabric that has peacocks on it, I'd love to get your pillow for her birthday...

    I, too, have always had a passion for peacocks. I'm anxious to work your peacock fabric into a room design. Loved the jewelry pieces, also.

    Love these images..

    I often look at peacocks (some live near my mum's house).
    Then I think about how a woman feels when she is in an amazing ball gown or evening dress and knows it..
    Then I think, how unfair that women rarely get that, whereas Peacocks get to walk around every day strutting the kind of detail most women could never afford to reproduce in a lifetime, they'll never have a dress like that.
    I mean good for them, you know, I'm happy for them..
    But still.

    love peacock feathers! the colors are great - that's one of very few species where the males are infinitely more fashionable than the males, as a general rule :)
