Eleanora de Toledo dress....yes its still going.....but getting closer

It has been a long time coming (over 2000 hours) but finally I have finished the black couching on the gold motifs on the skirt....levelling up and moving onto all of the gold couching on the black motifs. There is still a lot of work to do. There are 56 black motifs like the ones above my hand in the photo and they take about 15 minutes each. After that some more work on the large circular motifs before I can move onto the sleeves.
