You don't have to be a peacock lover to admire this. The workmanship is superb.

Was this a pattern from Aunt Martha's? I have one of hers (two actually) and it looks identical. Never thought of beading it...and after one thought...not happening! Yours is stunning!!!!

I believe it was Aunt Martha's.
I had always wanted to incorporate beads
with the embroidery I'd grown up with
and this was the result.

Wow, this is absolutely stunning and who ever see you wearing it is going to want one. If you really enjoy creating one of a kind pieces of wearable art you could have a very profitable future.
