{"product_id":"color-splash-horse-head","title":"Color Splash Horse Head Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheres 2 things happening at once in this design and somehow they both work. The centre is a realistic chestnut horse head, proper portrait style, with a white blaze down the nose, brown glass eyes with a hint of white catch-light, dark nostrils and the kind of directional fill that makes the coat look like actual fur. Around it is pure chaos in the best way, curling splashes of hot pink, sky blue, teal, orange and yellow that swirl outward like the horse just burst through a wall of liquid paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifteen colours means fifteen stops, so plan a good afternoon for this one at the larger sizes. The small 3.5-inch version runs just over 16k stitches which is actually light for a 15-colour piece, the underlay is efficient and the density is calibrated well. The 7.5-inch top size is about 45k stitches and thats where the full detail in the muzzle and eye comes through. Machine embroidery doesnt usually do realistic animal portraiture this convincingly, but last spring a customer stitched the 6-inch centre on a saddle pad and sent me photos and honestly it was quite suprising how crisp the eye detail read at that size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop mid-weight cutaway behind on stable wovens, canvas or jacket fabric. Hoop very firm because the directional satin on the horse face needs consistent tension or the colour blending reads patchy. Skip jersey or anything with give. The splash shapes surrounding the horse use a slightly looser fill density so they sit on top without pulling the fabric even on bigger hoops. Pop the 7-inch version on a black bomber jacket and the colours hit like a poster print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair with a plain hoodie in any neutral and the design carries the whole look on its own. Avoid busy fabric prints, the 15-colour detail gets lost against anything with existing pattern. Ping me if you need a different colourway suggestion and Im happy to talk thread swaps.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45837771309206,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ColorSplashHorseHeadMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763012724","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/color-splash-horse-head","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
