Peacocks, Group 3

So this set of peacock feather hats was my attempt at branching out a little from the standard filigree-wrapped jewels, with wire-wrapping instead. They're a little less traditional, I think, but the wire still works with the peacock feather theme.

Isis:


Adorned in royal blue and gleaming gold, the Isis features shimmering peacock feathers and a jeweled amulet that wouldn't be out of place around the neck of an Egyptian queen. Plush velvet the color of lapis lazuli is an elegant backdrop for a deep sapphire-blue acrylic jewel wrapped in gold-colored wire and mounted to the center of a swirling circular ornament. A pair of peacock eye feathers in rich tints of green, blue, and violet is set with tiny rhinestones, and an arched peacock sword in iridescent green echoes the curve of the wire while another stretches upwards. Like a precious treasure from the age of the pyramids, this hat deserves to be on display!
















Isadora:
Free-spirited and lovely, with a touch of the exotic, the Isadora is just as modern and graceful as her inspired namesake. Forest-green velvet sets the stage for a shining emerald-colored acrylic jewel, wrapped in delicate strands of wire in flowing curves. Whimsical swirls of brass are accented by miniature brass flowers set with tiny glass pearls, while above it all, two peacock eye feathers steal the spotlight and glitter with tiny rhinestones. Whether you're a dancer breaking through boundaries of the traditional, or just someone who wants to be noticed in a crowd, the Isadora is the perfect accessory for you.
