I couldn't quite figure out a way to give the tights the shape of my legs without wearing, so (against my previous instructions) I wore them while drawing on them! I layered a pair of black opaques underneath and used a sharpie marker to create the design. I may go in an darken the lines again, but they're darker than they appear in these images, since the flash alters the appearance of the tights somewhat.
So, here in all their symbolic vain glory are my new peacock feather tights:

Ah I love it! You should cover both legs!! That would be amazing.
Holy crap! I love anything peacock! They are amazing.
Also, thanks for checking out my blog. :)
Ah you are unbelievably talented! I like the black and royal blue combination.
I wish I could do beautiful things like that!
That looks great, I might have to borrow that idea too :)
There is a design duo that makes printed thights just like those, with hearts´,dices, swallows and so on, they look very hand-drawn. I just can't remember the name right now...
omg i am SO IN LOVE WITH THOSE TIGHTS! Can you make me a pair? will you be able to wash those ok?
Really beautiful! :) You're very talented for drawing (on clothes at least!)
lovely tights:)
I love that pattern
the colour works really nicely with the jacket too
Wow this is awsome, realy beautifull.
did u make it with a speciall fabric marker?
Glorious!
Talking about sheer tights, I think they're more flattering. Legs look thinner.
That is absolutely amazing! What a coincidence that I was experimenting with tights last night too! More about that later...
Genius!
I didn't actually see the original post, but this is such a fantastic idea, and very you.
Wow. That's so neat!
I want to try that now.
Did the marker effect the black tights at all? Or did it just blend in?
Me like!! They look good now, but would also with both legs drawn on. Peacock feathers - inspired.
wow!! i ve never seen some tights like that before! so cool!!!
love it!
a kisss
These tights are great !! I really like the outfit ... :)
And great blog :)
Thats a brilliant idea! Its like a tatoo without the commitment! Let us know what happens when you wash them. I love the peacock design and contrary to some of the other comments I really like the fact that you only did one leg.
lovely idea, beautiful results!
What a great idea! I adore patterned tights and really admire your ingenious idea!
That peacock-feathered pair of tights is truly spectacular, you do have a talent for doodling!
PS: I've tagged you with the You Make My Day award! See my blog for deets..
wow, thats a lovely idea!
xx
You did a great job! Lovely idea!
What a fabulous and imaginative DIY fashion idea. Bravo!
They look great, I think it would look even better on a lighter pair, like the yellows you mentioned. Maybe you can even use your doodles to make a pair!
It's weird taking picture of your own legs, isn't it?
They always look like creepy detached mannequin legs.
I mean that in the nicest way possible!
How adorably creative...good job girl!
just fabulous! will definitely be trying this!!!
So so chic!

hmmm

lol about the tattoo:D
xxx
Great!!
What about trying this on suntan tights? Everyone will think you got a real tattoo...
And - I loooove all your outfits!
I love it! I like that you did one leg and left one as is.
denim jacket and something dip-dyed... now thats a good idea.
i bow down to the princess of fierce talent.
you should sell this!
Dang, that is COOL.
Wow, I love those! Wanna come over and doodle on mine?
those tights are simply stunning!
they look great. you can't wash them though, can you?
Peacock feathers! That's so cool. I love them.
Wow! Great job and you choose a perfect color for the tights too! Love :-)
Wishing all a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
