She is a Peacock in Everything but Beauty

Peacock scarf...

The stained glass

So I started this project quite a while ago. I lost the concept drawing a while back, but in general it was supposed to be a really colorful scarf based off of a stained glass window I had seen on the internet. The stained glass is really pretty and I tried to capture that, but something tells me I didn't do that well. It's hard to capture the stained glass look when you're working with yarn. When I was first getting all the yarn, there was not a true emerald green available, so I got a dark green instead. Only when I was basically finished with all of the tail feathers did I find an emerald green.

Anywho, For these feathers I used the half double stitch for the majority. For texture, I ended up doing a double stitch on the stock of the feather. The feather on the top left, I attempted to incorporate the emerald green I found, but I honestly don't know how it's all going to look once it's pieced together.

To start these "feathers" I crocheted in circles, changing colors when appropriate. I actually messed up on some of these because I would forget to change colors or they would be completely messed up (crooked and such).

I'm still trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to make the body of the peacock, so if anyone reading this has any suggestions as far as a stitch or anything, let me know and we'll see how it works. I was hoping to make smaller triangular shaped stitches, but nothing is really sticking out to me as far as the shape and how it will all look. Also, these colors are going to look familiar because all of the yarn I originally purchased was for this peacock scarf project. I really need to try to finish something before I start anything else, but meh. Anyway, let me know what you think!
