Got a bunch of work in on Balthier yesterday! I can start to see if coming together, which is always exciting. Sometimes when I’m working with all these tiny pieces it can be hard to see what it’ll become.

Cutting all the tiny rectangles out was probably the worst part! Stitching them was probably faster.

I added a strip of felt under the second layer of gold to give it a little dimension, and I’m glad I did, I think it would look too flat and fake otherwise.

Still a lot to do, but we’re getting there! Back edge and loops are up next!
