Holy wow, that's spectacular! I can't begin to imagine how long it must have taken to do the embroidery!

[samtyr.livejournal.com]

It must have taken ages! But then, it is an art so I guess it's to be expected.

Very true! It dramatically lowers the probability that I'll ever manage to copy it for myself, though (although I would love to). Not to mention the difficulty of acquiring actual metal sequins these days ;)
