“Using the Peacock pattern created by Anna Bond, I vectorized the artwork and designed the layout of the embroidered journal.”

I chose specific embroidery techniques that compliment the artwork such as “french knots” and “satin stitch.” I thoughtfully selected thread colors for the prep-house to reference for the final embroidered peacock journal.
