{"product_id":"colorful-hummingbird-floral","title":"Colorful Hummingbird Floral Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe hummingbird is mid-hover, bill pointing left toward two large open pink flowers. Wings are spread wide and the feathers are stitched in tight satin bands that capture the shimmer you see on real hummingbird plumage. The body runs lime-green down the chest and belly, the throat is a deep hot pink fading into magenta at the edges, and the longer wing feathers shift into a purple-violet I havent seen on many bird designs. Teal turquoise comes in on the tail and along some of the wing tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this one different from a standard bird design is the background treatment. Orange paint-splash shapes sit behind the left flower, teal ink drops scatter around the composition, and there are lime green leaf sprigs that look like a quick brushstroke rather than a stitched botanical element. Its a deliberate mixed-media feel, like the bird is flying out of a painted canvas. Twelve colours in total and every one is doing something distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity is moderate at 709 per square inch and the large 7.3 by 8.5 inch version runs to 44,010 stitches, so it stitches out in a solid session. Eight sizes from 3.86 by 4.5 up to 7.3 by 8.5. Use a medium-weight cut-away stabiliser and float a topping on any textured fabric so the fine feather satin bands dont sink into the weave. Stitch slowly on the wing sections where the colour shifts from pink to purple. Skip dark backgrounds on this one, the teal and lime-green need a light or mid-tone ground to read properly. The smaller versions work on garment sleeves and tote pockets. Medium sizes suit the chest or back of a shirt. Big sizes do well centred on a cushion or stretched in a wall hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who buy this usually say they wanted something that didnt look like it came from a catalogue. One person messaged me last autumn after stitching the five-inch on a white linen tote and said three people at a market stopped to ask if it was hand-painted. That honestly made my day and its one of those bits of feedback you dont forget. Pop it on a pale blue or cream background and the twelve colours do all the work.
