Love!

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

Oh, it's a peacock.

"The Feathers Fall"

Inspired by the works of French jewelry designer and glass artist Renee Lalique, with a little Mucha thrown in.

Here's the larger version

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

This is stunning, love it and want to buy.

Gorgeous. The coloring on the peacock is amazing.

I like how the peacock's body was incorporated into the background a bit, but the other part just seems kinda there. I still love the design, it just seemed a little disjointed, the different components. If that's an aspect of the art nouveau style, feel free to totally disregard this!

Thank you from both of us! The framing in general is rather indicative of the style, but I kinda love the feeling that the natural elements (the tail specifically) refuse to be contained or boxed in. Thanks for sharing; we always appreciate that!!

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

Just curious, what color shirt is this on? I'm having a little difficulty identifying it from the image.

I have to say I agree - the flow that the tail feathers lend to the design is disrupted by the box underneath it. The colors are fantastic though

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

beautiful work! +1

I hope this prints, it would be a great present for my best friend.

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

Gorgeous!

Peafowl is a funny word.

I think it is stunning as is. I personally love the frames behind. It could be seen as an ornate fence with a peacock sitting on the top. I will buy if it wins.

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

WOW!!! I knew we'd have to watch you, noxandpy! This is great!

I'm curious about your team. So there are two of you? Who does what in the making of the design?

I know your first entry here was Little Miss Muffet so that would make this your 3rd or 4th entry? I wanna say 4th but I'm not quite sure. Congrats on making the fog and I hope it prints!

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

Ohmigosh! Thank everyone so much for all of your votes and kind words! This was not an easy entry for us, so Nox and I are super excited to see this fog!!

@allrealelements - It's on navy.

@leprechaungirl - Thank you!! This is our 4th derby/5th entry (we had two last week). Nox and I are "real life" friends who thought it would be fun to give shirt.woot a go. Nox is a fantastic artist, and I've commissioned her for work many times in the past.

Generally, when the derby is announced, we brainstorm a little together, but it's my responsibility to come up with the idea and any references Nox might need. Then she does the art and we edit together. I handle the admin (write-ups, entries, emails, etc.).

It's a lot of fun (usually) as a process, but will be a lot easier when she doesn't live half way across the country LOL!

Very nice! you guys obviously make a great team! I really hope this prints!

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

I like the layout of the frames, but I wish they had more color in them like the bird does.

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

Beautiful design! The colors bring this shirt to life. Peacocks are my favorite so I will definitely purchase this shirt! Great job

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

Lovely, I am a fan of flowy designs.

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

Thanks to everyone for your votes! We made the contenders this week!! How cool is that? <3 Thank you all so much!

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

I am so sorry I got here too late to vote for this in the derby. I am utterly entranced.

All I can think of when I see this is the recent reddit guy who had an escaped peacock in his driveway...

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

yaaaaay :D <3

Love it more

Re: Les Plumes Tombent

The winners were beautiful but I was really hoping for this one, I hope you'll let us know if it ever prints elsewhere!

I second that!

Thank you both so much! <3 We are probably going to let this one stick around for the next double take derby - so keep an eye out! you'll have the chance to vote on it again!! :D

Eep, that hasn't happened yet has it? This is my favorite design to come around in some time (I'm a fan of peacocks) and I'd love to vote for it.

Not yet! It will probably be in the next month or two, if my calculations are anywhere close to accurate (which I make no claims to! :P )

ETA - Or you can ignore me because THIS WEEK is the double take derby! :D
