These peacocks were inspired by a scrap of wallpaper created by the 19ths century decorative artist, Eugene Grasse, who was a pioneer in the Art Nouveau movement. The peacocks were then combined with influences from William Morris’ Willow Bough and Flowerpot designs and the colour palette was imagined by Frederick Rhead.
This kit is worked on 12hpi, the finished piece will measure 18″x16″, 46x41cm. The design is mainly worked in tent stitch with a selection of other stitches to give the finished piece a more traditional look and textured feel. Instructions are given for all the stitches, but the cushion can be stitched completely in tent stitch if you prefer.
