Cute Cartoon Bird Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This is a genuinely funny one. Its a cartoon bird face peeking in from the side, the whole expression is manic and wide-eyed, with oversized round eyes and that big flat orange beak. The wild blue feather-spikes sticking up from the top of the head are what make it recognisable from across the room. Behind all of that theres a splatter of paint-splash shapes in pink and blue, like someone threw paint at the wall and then drew a bird over the top of it. Thats the part that makes it feel current rather than a clip-art throwback.

Nine colours including the grey body area, the blue head feathers, the pink splash shapes, the beak orange, black outlines, white eye areas, and a couple of accent tones in between. 8 colour changes to manage. Pop a light tearaway under it on stable cotton, or use a medium-weight cutaway on stretch fabric. The eye areas run at 868 density so secure the backing properly or the circles can distort. 8 sizes from 2.28 inches tall up to 4.56 inches, stitches from 11,722 to 27,710. Use a topper on any fabric with texture or pile and the beak and eye outlines stay sharp. Skip the topper on smooth cotton and the outlines do the work on their own.

She sent me a photo last week of the 4-in chest on a white canvas backpack and honestly it looked like a sticker someone had ironed on. Thats the combination of the paint-splash background and the heavy black outlines, they photograph flat and graphic. Good for kids bags, novelty projects, the sort of things where you want something that provokes a reaction. Stitch it on a bright yellow or mint tote and those splatter shapes pop completely differently against the warm ground.
