The Large Day Bag "Peacock"

In Christian history the peacock is a symbol of immortality because the ancients believed that the flesh of the peacock did not decay, becoming a symbol of Christ and his immortality.The earliest usage of the word peacock (or peafowl) in written English can be dated back to 1300. Throughout history, the peacock has become a symbol of great significance for many religions. Many Medieval works of art employ the peacock, as well as in manuscripts, mosaics, and decorative motifs on church's and buildings. Early Renaissance artist Fra Angelico used a peacock in  his painting Adoration of the Magi (c.1445), perched on the roof of the stable, symbolizing the immortality of the Christ child. With its shedding and regrowth of tail feather's annually, the peacock too symbolizes renewal. The "eye" on the peacock's tail feathers came to symbolize God's all-seeing eye.

This handbag is composed of cotton velvet, microfiber, silk, and cotton/poly blends. All hardware is brass.

My signature cascade of fabrics grace the back side of the handbag.

The "eye" of the peacock is surrounded by wisps of  burnt orange feathers. This is a long process to create using 100's of stitches. Although difficult to see in this photo, a purse charm consisting of peacock colors accent the top right corner of the bag with the SCD logo.

Detail abounds in "Peacock." The inside of the handbag has one 6" zipper pocket, one 12" zipper pocket, and three side pockets. This bag is large enough to carry your laptop.
