This is gorgeous!
(For some reason, my oddbrain keeps trying to see her wonderful dress as Batik print rather than embroidery or skilled weaving, but luckily for me that doesn't matter to my appreciation. Unlike, for example, endless book artists in my youth who seemed to assume that every non-Roman and pre-Victorian woman in the British Isles and western Europe wore a low-cut top, a wide floofy skirt, and a conical hat with a filmy scarf dangling from the tip.)
...And since I have hand tremors, I just had to correct my own typo from "a filmy scarp." I suppose earth goddesses in misty countries MIGHT get away with that....

It does look a bit like some kind of resist technique like batik, probably because of the light-on-dark lines. It's meant to be embroidery (I guess), but it's pretty abstracted and not in the least realistic. Glad you like it!
