I was recently checking out ferm wallcoverings (because i'm hunting down a large, graphic, 70s inspired wallpaper-that's another post) and I found this beauty:
It made me realize that, lately, I've been seeing a lot of the peacock feather motifs. Maybe it's a hybrid of the recent bird, design craze and the rise of boho popularity.
Urban has a few items such as this print:and this groovy rug. They also have this:Which is all very, 'Trial Of Billy Jack' -'One Tin Soldier' and all, but it sort of skigs me out. I don't really like this design element in it's true form. I'm happier to stick with a little more of a graphic version of the feather. A bit removed from its original source you might say. With that said, check these lively little items out (found at super deluxe nyc).....and one more little somethin' somethin' from anthropologie:

Thank god someone can make a connection between 'One Tin Soldier' and a feather headband. And let's not forget anything remotely similar to a feathery dream catcher. Blick. That said-lu-u-uv the anthro bag and the goods from Superdeluxe.
OH! good god! i didn't even think of the dream catcher (at its best, hanging from a review mirror, of course). you may have ruined this whole trend for me with that connection! I'm not completely sold on it,however that wallpaper is off the hook.
