Last night, I finished beading my little peacock brooch, and it is now listed in my Etsy shop! This beaded bird has two layers of beadwork. I used mostly size 15 & size 13 Charlottes. The tail feathers are beaded fringe that actually move when you touch them! It is not easy doing this kind of layered fringe with such tiny seed beads, but the results are worth the effort. I have a feeling this accessory will attract attention whenever it is worn. How and where would you wear this piece? And what shall I bead next? :D
