{"product_id":"blue-green-floral-mandala","title":"Blue Green Floral Mandala Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwelve pointed rays push out from the center like a star that decided to become a flower. Each ray is sky blue, filled with rows of eye-shaped and teardrop motifs stacked one inside the other. Between those rays, dark green petals wedge in from the outer ring, shorter and rounder, packed with their own crosshatch fill. Thats the whole structure really, two sets of shapes taking turns around the circle, blue and green, pointed and rounded, pulling your eye in and then back out again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lacework is what makes this different from a coloring-book mandala. Nothing is solid. Every petal has a skeleton of running stitches with gaps left open, so the fabric shows through in little windows all across the design. At small sizes it looks tight and jewel-like. At 10 inch on a table runner or quilt panel the individual motifs are big enough to really read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColours work hard here. Sky blue is bright without being neon, dark green anchors it, and the white fabric gaps between every row of stitching keep the whole piece from going heavy. One customer told me last month they ran it on pale grey linen and swapped the thread order so the green rays came first and it read almost aqua in certain light. Thats worth trying on your test piece because the two-colour flip completely changes the mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on a flat woven fabric that wont shift under the hoop. Use cotton quilting weight or a firm linen-cotton blend, the openwork sits cleanest when the ground fabric doesnt have any stretch or texture competing with the lacework. Pin your stabiliser flat before hooping and lock everything down tight from the first colour drop. Skip fabric with surface texture or visible weave, the fine lacework gaps will fight with anything thats not smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186684612758,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BlueGreenFloralMandalaEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1768804316","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/blue-green-floral-mandala","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
