Crochet Bookmark - Peacock Feather

Hello friends, When I decided to make book marks as a Sankranti Vaan (gift). I become nostalgic and the memories of the bookmark, I used in my childhood, started wondering around me. How my friends and me gathered different feather with various colours, textures and how there was an unsaid competition among the feathers we have. I also remember that among all feathers. peacock feather was our most favorite. Peacock feather is always one of the nostalgic memories of childhood. I know, everyone of us have kept peacock feather in book, it is priceless possession in our life at that time. Hence I decided to make "Peacock Feather" as my first bookmark. I know that we can try as much as we can; but the beauty of peacock feather, its colour its glaze, its satin texture .... no comparison with our piece made by wool. But still I tried it, fig 2. Lateron I also made four more bookmarks as in fig 1. I use 4-5 colours for that, Sky blue, dark purple, dark pink, peacock colour, yellow, green etc and 1.75 mm crochet hook.
