I'm not so sure attempting freehand on a 30mm flat is a good idea. I tried not to work too much on the detail but give the impression of the embroidery using light and shade.

I knew I couldn't wait to see this.This is fabulous work Roger.

Thank you very much Ralph. These little fella's are a real pleasure to paint. At this point I should also give a mention to two books that provided me with a lot of inspiration. Italian text but the illustrations have English text.
