Pretty as a Peacock

Another horse is DONE!  Julia started this one from the outside circle of the carousel before she headed out to school, and I finished up the saddle and decorations.  She's a peacock (well, a peaHEN technically).

 Here's a detail, with the top of the carousel in the background.

 It's really hard to get good photos of the horses' faces, they always look really freaked out with their open mouths from this angle.  But they really have a better and more friendly personality than this.

 

The inside.

The outside.

 Detailed look at the feathers.  I used royal blue to represent peacock heads and necks, then the saddle is based on the transitional feathers between the birds' back and tail.
