Peacock Design

It's time that we got crackin' on drafting a design for the "peacock window."  This design could also be modified to be used for custom wood decorative pieces for the covered entry ways and dormers.  I've collected a few "fanlight" windows here, to act as guide/inspiration.  The windows featured below have between 7 and 12 "rays." The ones with 10-11 rays look best to my eyes.





In this basic illustration of a peacock, you can see how there are different types of feathers, the "eyes" that we all think of and the "T"s which float above the rest.  It would be impossible (and not even desirable) to try to reproduce all the feathers in a peacock tail.  We'll have to decide what level of detail is desirable (and practical.)
