Hello Everyone!
Allow me to show you some of my beautiful boys. Their names are Blueboy, and Christmas Snow . The above picture is Blue boy, or was. Katrina got him. He was 16yrs old. I have a better picture of him, but since we got this new Vista I can't scan them in. He was the sire for most of my peacocks. Which, by the way, you don't chase after them and pull their feathers out. They molt them out once a year. It takes 7 months for their feathers to grow back, at a rate of 1/2 foot per yr. They do this for breeding time in the spring. If you would like to see a doll that I made with his feathers, you may view it on my Flickr- Here's the front: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26629199@N02/2645144007/
Here is the back

He looks like a lace fan. They are beautiful to look at , BUT!!! They do their business everywhere, including on my porch, top of the greenhouse, and car. Well ...LOL...you have to take the bad with the good. Hugs Marie AntionetteAllow me to show you some of my beautiful boys. Their names are Blueboy, and Christmas Snow .

The concept is ...I wanted to have a theme going on, underneath her gown, sort of like a curtain parting to reveal its contents. I chose for my first time, a carousell theme.
Here is how I made it. I cut out two 12 in. diameter plaques.(Made with 1 by 12 ponderosa pine). Painted of course. I set the carousel pieces,Which I chose...The cutest little cherubs on carousel animals. Then I used an 8 in. dowel,(decorated first), I screwed a plaque to each end of the dowel .It looked like a wheel.
