This was a gift from my brother and wow, is it beautiful. This model came from Metal Earth. To assemble this peacock I used tweezers that were included in the kit and jewelry wire cutters. It was fairly time consuming and not everything went perfectly but it all worked out.
Here in California we are getting our first major storm of 2014. So Tim's tag for March was perfect timing (i.e., we can't wait for Spring). I used Stampin Up's "Botanical Gazette" paper with the bird as the base for my tag and added feathers from the "Fine Feathers" set (both retired). I applied several colors of SU markers to the bird image and used the SU air spritzer with Tim's burlap stencil for the pattern at the top of the tag. The yarn and the ribbon are SU as well.
