{"product_id":"black-mixed-shea-butter","title":"Black Mixed with Shea Butter Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe silhouette on this one is really different from the usual solid-fill afro designs. The whole figure has floral and mandala-style patterning running through it in black satin, kinda like henna or body art carved into the shape. Beside that runs the ingredient-list word column: Black mixed with \/ Shea Butter \/ Coconut Oil in gold and red, then the affirmations step down through Hustle, Respect, Strength and Intelligence, finishing with But Mainly \/ Black in the biggest letters at the base. That last line always gets a reaction from customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 colour stops in the file: black runs in 3 separate sequences to handle the silhouette patterning, the body outline and the bold base text. Gold carries the ingredient lines and the alternate affirmations, red hits the highlighted terms like Shea Butter and Coconut Oil. I did the digitising in my software and the density came in at 639, which is lighter than my usual portrait work and means faster stitch-out times without losing definition in the floral detail areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch range is 14,071 at 4 inches wide up to 26,994 at 8 inches. 5 sizes total. The floral body patterning needs a firm base to hold its shape, so Im gonna say cutaway stabiliser on everything here. Tearaway doesnt give enough resistance for the close-packed directional lines in the mandala fill areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer sent me photos of this one on a black cosmetic bag last week and I was suprised how well the gold thread read against the dark fabric. If youre working on dark fabric, skip the topping but do a test stitch first since the underlay can show more on dark backgrounds than on light ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on bags, pouches, jackets, towels, or any project where the wider landscape layout works. 5 sizes, widths 4.01 to 8.01 inches.
