Artwork by Gina Mikel: Black Peacocks

Black Peacocks, 2026

Black peacocks in black and gold ink were drawn by Gina for the Relic prompt, day 2 of Inktober 2026, after birds in the Bayeux Tapestry border. Peafowl are not native to Britain, yet finds from Roman and Saxon times show they lived there before 1066. The tapestry's borders blend real and imagined animals.
