Master Of Disguise PLQ8 Plaque

The Peacock butterfly is a master of disguise. At rest, with its wings held tightly together over its back, the Peacock resembles a still leaf. When a predator gets close, the Peacock will abandon its disguise and adopt shock tactics instead. Repeatedly flicking open its wings, to expose suddenly bright, rust-coloured upperwing colours, with shimmering slices of gold, and its characteristic, large eye-spot markings which hold the purple hues of galaxies and nebulas, to stun predators.

Rachel utilises softer, Arts and Crafts pigments, to showcase this remarkable butterfly in terracotta, mustard yellow, olive green, deep blue and a deep crimson, all woven into the fabric of those famous, vibrant blue acanthus leaves championed by craftsman William Morris.
