Sara Harley: Guinea Feathers

I'm not sure how instantly recognizable guinea feathers are to anyone who doesn't live in the country, but they are striking nonetheless. Guineas are not as flamboyant as peacocks, but just as noisy and they do know how to strut their stuff. I used to keep guineas when we lived in the country, and I miss them. Chance had me visiting a country home last weekend. I visited with the guineas, and found these feathers on the ground....souvenirs of country living.

I was inspired to finally use a beautiful piece of cardstock that I had been saving for something special.  Beauty seems to be generational and deserves to be celebrated.  The peacock celebrates his own beauty.

AJ: Peacock Purse

Crochet using Wool

I designed a peacock pattern and made a purse for my daughter using some scrap pastel colored yarn.  Then I made an tablet case for my mom.  I lined the inside of it with scraps from my grandma's (her mother's) fabric stash that I'd inherited.  I was able to make this pattern using tapestry crochet.

I’ve been thinking about all the amazing patterns in nature. There’s instant recognition even if we see just a small part of the whole. We know the hexagons of a honeycomb, the swirl of a seashell, the spots on a leopard, the zig-zag of a lightning bolt, the stripes on a zebra, the rings of a tree stump, the scales of a fish, the orb of a spider web, the diamonds on a pineapple skin, and the eye-shaped design on the feathers of a peacock.
