Zecca Purse - Back In Progress

I started work on the back of the bag at the beginning of April and am making pretty good progress. As with the front of the bag I'm stitching it all in Baroque Silk.

A portion of the right side is complete. The background is Byzantine and it's stitched so that each section meets up with the previous one. I'm intending to use that as the unifying background throughout the piece.

The satin stitches are done with 2 strands of Baroque Silk, including the Byzantine background. The square in the upper corner a one direction in the brown and the opposite direction in the other colors.

The leaves are done with Encroaching Gobelin but each leaf was angled differently and mirrored. This is done with one strand of Baroque Silk.
