Embroidered Collage

  No, you didn't miss the first one, in this case I'm indicating the order they go in, for a particular reason.  The peacock began as a collage that I'd worked on last year and never finished.  I decided that instead of trying to work it up with my current interests that I'd trim it down, add some painted elements, and use it as the last page of my section in this calendar.  This left me with some strips of tail.  So I used two on top of another background that had once been destined for a collage, along with a little Japanese paper and some paint.  I put one square on my sign-in tag and I'll be putting some more squares on what will be the first spread in my section.
