Boho Horse Head With Flowers Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The horse faces right in a clean side profile and the mane is really where this design lives. Its not a realistic mane, its more like a whole garden growing out of the horses neck. Teal and forest green leaves overlap in long flowing shapes, small pink five-petal blossoms sit tucked in between, and thin curling stems weave through the whole arrangement. The forelock drops down the forehead in a dark swirling tendril. Meanwhile the face itself stays proper and calm, warm tan fill with a cream blaze running down the nose and a soft dark eye.

Eight colours, nine sizes ranging from 3.5 all the way to 7.5 wide. Stitch density sits at 1,457which is kinda on the heavier side, the max at 66,861 stitches is alot for the largest size, so plan your stabiliser accordingly. The face section uses angled fill rows that trace the contour of the cheek and jaw, that bit is what makes the face look modelled rather than flat. The mane area uses dense satin fills inside the leaves and tatami fill on the larger leaf shapes.

I drew this one specifically for equestrian tote bags and barn jackets. My first run of it sold to a riding school in march who wanted embroidered canvas bags for their summer camp kids. They used the 5-inch size and the bags came out realy well apparently. Since then I keep getting it bought by people doing western-themed wedding merch and bohemian home decor. The flowering mane is the bit people realy love, its kinda unusual for a horse design.

Stitch on cream, oatmeal or natural linen for that earthy boho feel. Avoid bright white fabric here, the pale cream blaze on the face needs a slightly warm ground to separate cleanly. The large version on a canvas tote or the whole back of a barn jacket is gonna look fantastic. Back everything with a heavy cutaway stabiliser because the leaf sections have dense fill and will drag on anything lightweight. Keep the hoop tension firm and dont skip topping on textured fabrics like waffle or terry.
