Back done for now

I have got about as far with the bellydancer's back as I can without moving the frame:

I did decide to smooth out the highlights a bit and I think it looks better now. The next section to move on to is the bra top but as I want to use the same pattern for that as the hip scarf I need to think about them together. In order to add interest to the hipscarf, which would otherwise be quite a large area with not much going on, I would like to use a second stitch pattern to create a shape within the background pattern than shades at the same time so that it looks like a pattern on the fabric. I am not certain that this will work and even if it does which stitch patterns I chose will make a big difference so I am going to do some experiments first to find the best combination.
