Paper peacock

 

I came across this beautiful creation in http://quillingmesoftlee.blogspot.tw/2013/06/quilled-national-bird.html#links and ever since I’ve seen this, I couldn’t stop myself from attempting one. Thanks Pritesh for your inspiring creation. The eyes of the peacock feathers took most of the time for me as I have made them with paper coils first and I was not satisfied. Then, simply paper one. I didn’t like this one as well. Finally, I’ve used clay for some 3D effect and painted on top of it.
