Question
QUESTION: I want to do a peacock in a mass arrangement do you have any suggestions. thanks
ANSWER: If this is for a flower show, be sure your schedule allows for the use of found objects. Often times in a "Tri Color" class, you can't use accessories unless the schedule specifically calls for them. You also can't use feathers in many instances. I would read the schedule carefully and then cross reference with the Handbook for Flower Shows to determine if your idea is "eligible".
Assuming it is, often times it is easier to use an object as part of a grouping, an accessory of sorts; rather than putting it physically into the arrangement. You could, however, borrow from the bold color palate of the peacock to make an aesthetic suggestion to it.
If you want to provide me with additional information I can try to give you a bit more direction.

I have only done one other show. I thanks you for the other information
Answer
Hi Catherine,
From what I see in the class schedule, you can't use feathers or other found objects and must use only plant material. What they're looking for is a suggestion of peacock rather than a literal interpretation and they specifically mention color. I would put together a selection of plant material that has the hues.
