Dear Melanie,
No thot those, what i ment was this:
http://www.kimiko1.com/research-16th/FrenchHood/1560/ MildredCooke1562.html To me it looks really like embroidery, you can even se that there is used deeper shades of silk in the center of the flowers, like thread painting. Its the yellow flowers in the centers of blackwork embroidery on her sleaves and on her "chemise"


Oh! Different portrait entirely. Hmmm--I have to say I can't really tell on these. Given their location, I'd say it's more likely they're embroidered rather than attached metal items, yes, but what sort of embroidery, I can't see well enough to have an informed opinion.

Melanie
