{"product_id":"charming-penguin-family","title":"Charming Penguin Family Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSix penguins grouped together and each one has a different size and posture. Big adult at the back-centre stands tall, another adult to the left holds wings slightly out like its keeping everyone steady. In front of them there are 3 chicks at various stages, one fluffy round one front-centre with its head tilted, one tiny one to the left wings spread wide, and an older juvenile to the right side still figuring out how to stand. Theres a seventh smaller figure in the background to the far right, almost like a penguin who wandered in from offscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drawing style is naturalist sketch, very fine line work. I been a fan of this kind of illustration since I used look at old field guides as a kid. Black outlines do the structure, the belly areas stay open and white, and theres a light stipple pattern on the chest feathers of the front chick that gives it texture without heavy fill. One of the central adults gets a medium blue fill on its back, which is I think what makes it read as the parent, it draws the eye. The rest stay in black and white line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI sell this one mostly to customers doing nursery decor and winter-themed gifts. A customer last christmas ordered nine copies of the 7.5-inch for an antarctic nonprofit who wanted it on tote bags for a fundraiser. They wanted something that looked like a field journal illustration, not a kids cartoon, and this one fits that brief. Stitch on white or cream cotton for the cleanest read, the open belly areas need a pale ground to show the negative space. Works well on light blue chambray too. At 13,519 stitches on the full 7.5-inch its a fast project, nine sizes total. Hoop with topping on fleece or terry to stop the running stitch outlines sinking into the nap. Drop me message if the download gives trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46379558109334,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CharmingPenguinFamilyEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778405482","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/charming-penguin-family","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
