Warning: the image is pretty big. Probably bigger than it needed to be.
The grey areas are where the ground fabric seems to be consistently exposed. Much like the last pattern I posted, this could be due to caustic dyestuff eating away the threads, intentional picking out of thread (maybe it was gold!), left like that intentionally for a textured effect, or perhaps some other reason that I just can't think of yet. I have no data yet as to which reason is more likely.

Thank you - a great inspiration :)
Once again - thank you :)
and fyi - I started to work at this pattern with some small changes: http://embroidery.racaire.at/?p=2317
:)
I love your patterns (and I really don't like counting techniques *lol*)
I love the look of the brick stitch and from the tutorials iyt does not seem to be very very difficult either.
i'd have to look it up in my book, but i think the parts where you can see the ground fabric are covered in flat metal thread at some parts, but it is mostly gone.
i've been planning to do a pattern for this pouch for ages :) but you were faster!
