Why this name ? Because Charles Darwin used to say peacocks were his nightmare. How could such a shiny and bright colored bird have lasted ? Peacocks seemed to prove his theory wrong
I love peacocks. Peacocks, starlings and crows are my favourite birds.
I wanted to make something that would use peacock feathers and my friend Jeanne told me about "bibis", which are very small "hats" that are mostly used as head jewellery, so I decided to make one.
This bibi is part of a set with a brooch and earrings.
This is my first try so critiques are very welcome !
Peacock feathers (eyes and swords) Black hen feathers Swarovski rivoli cabochon (AB green) Bibi base (which is a hard oval shape which fits the head) Black elastic band (called "rat tail") Black fabric Gold plated chain Gold plated beads A lot of patience.
I'll post some closeups shots of the bibi, brooch and earrings later.
I hope you'll like it
Photo taken with my Canon EOS 350D and the kit lens. I'm the model (the hair color has not been touched up in photoshop by the way, I really dyed my hair).
This is my own design, please respect that. Thank you.
If I was not a very, very poor (broke?) student, I would probably pay for one of those. In short; Great job! Looks amazing. I'm not a hatmaker, so I'm afraid I can't give better critique than that
Aww, thank you ! I made it because I'm broke too, so I couldn't pay for a hat I think I'll make a lot more, it was very interesting to do and I kinda enjoy wearing it now Thanks again !
I think it's a student thing xD You should! It looks amazing on you, the green really works with your colors! (Or perhaps it's just me always going crazy with green and red combined ;D) Anyway, once more, awesome!
