Colorful Butterfly Eye Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This is a piece thats more art than badge, you cant really explain it in a sentence. The right half is a butterfly wing, teal base, yellow bands, black spots, those thin antenna lines all still there. The left half is a human eye, fully open, iris a deep cobalt blue, lashes fanning out the way a real butterfly wing would. And below the whole thing theres a drip, three or four teardrop beads of blue hanging down like the ink is still wet.

professional tools drove the stitch path planning here. 8 colors, 8 color changes, 77 trims on the smallest size alone. Stitch counts run from 13,794 up to 32,582 depending on which of the 5 sizes you pick, the detail in the wing cells is what drives that number up. At the larger sizes the iris gets enough room to actually look like an iris, not just a blob. I get messages fairly often from people wanting it on their jacket, and honestly thats the most obvious home for it, someone ordered 3 of them last month, one for each kid in a different size.

So the wing texture is tight cross-hatching, not satin. On denim or black canvas it reads almost like a tattoo flash rather than traditional embroidery. Very much that vibe. Dark, a bit surreal, definitely not a birthday card butterfly.

Use a firm cutaway stabiliser, 8 colors at density 802 needs something that wont shift under the needle. Hoop it tight. The largest size is 7.5 inches so leave yourself enough margin. Holler if theres any issue with a file and ill fix it same day.
