Thank you! The crest on that peacock was a pain... I glued my fingers together and to the peacock several times trying to secure those beads.

Gee, how annoyed were you over that??? It turned out wonderfully, though!

Haha It was pretty bad. I managed to glue my hands together while making the crest at 1 AM. I had to attempt to sneak into my parents' bedroom to get the nailpolish remover. I got in (try opening a door quietly when your hands are glued together, it's just not possible), and then the dog went ape and woke everyone up... all over a blasted beaded peacock

Not to mention I ripped my flesh off several times... One of the beads has some skin stuck to it... eeeew.

Oweee! Yikes! I would be muttering under my breath, trying not to teach the parrot any new words.

Do you think a tweezers would help next time?

 

[MoodyChicken]

Tweezers worked great for everything else but the crest. It was such a delicate stitch I had to get personal with it. Plus, the tweezers broke the thread once... I didn't want to do that again.

Holy Cow! Those are awesome!

those are so neat! What a great idea. You said you started with a pattern for a hummingbird? I think making sparkly beaded chickens is definitely way more interesting, so awesome job adapting the pattern. I especially love their wings and combs

about how big are they???

 

[MoodyChicken]

Thank you landtuna!

haha... tuna of the land, I get that... I get that.

Fizzy, they're about 2 inches.

Everyone else who cares... I'll try to get more of the pattern up tomorrow.
