Design Application Process:
  1. Start with drawing out a diagonal band, about 0.75-1 inch wide.  This is the diagonal band you see on the arm with the geometric filler
  2. Almost perpendicular to the band, draw large scallops.  Thicken the line and draw another line above and below your first scallop line.  
  3. Fill in the space created by the dip in the scallop with paisleys.  Fill the paisleys with a filler of your choice.
  4. Draw a small scalloping edge on the bottom scallop line.  Fill in with a floral filler
  5. Fill in the traingular shape created between the band and scallop line with an intricate filler
  6. Fill in the band with a geometric filler

  12. Nestle in a large flower petal (to be filled in later)
  13. Draw another large leaf where the peacock's crown should be
  14. Attach another peacock body in the space left between the flower petal and leaf.  Make this peacock body large so that it covers the rest of the hand and goes onto the finger
  15. Attach a paisley where the peacock's crown should be
  16. Add a leaf on the middle finger to complete the flow
