February 28 work in progress

I'm just going to tease you a little with a closeup, because the whole thing is in kind of an awkward stopping point.  I've been working on this for a while, I did a monogram on the back.  More pics as it progresses along.

And since someone will probably ask, yes the ivory is cracked.  It came to me that way, and I'm doing my best to cover and blend the lines into the design.
