{"product_id":"crazy-hen-head","title":"Crazy Hen Head Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis hen has seen things. Long scrawny neck stretched up tall, head tilted sideways, eyes absolutely enormous with tiny pinpoint pupils swimming in white circles. Red comb flopped to one side, yellow beak half open, small red wattles dangling below. The feathers on the neck scatter in scraggly marks going every direction, its like the hen just got spooked and cant calm down. Seven colours total, mostly tans and creams with red accents and black outlining holding it together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eyes are the whole joke and the digitising makes em count. Each eye is a wide satin-filled white circle with a small dark iris floating off-centre, that slightly wrong placement is whats making it read as crazy rather than just surprised. Honestly the off-centre iris choice was deliberate and I nearly changed it but Im glad I didnt. The neck feather texture runs in short directional stitches following the feather angle, send me message if youre wanting em adjusted for a different scale. Density sits at a friendly 30k max stitches so it runs fast even on a domestic machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI put this together for the chicken-keeper and farm shop crowd and the response has been mad. Last march a farm shop in Yorkshire ordered a batch on teatowels for their egg stall and sold through them in two weekends, she messaged me to say her customers couldnt stop laughing at the eyes. Since then another buyer put it on matching crew-neck sweatshirts for a hen night group which I thought was genuinely brilliant. I get messages almost every week from backyard hen keepers saying it looks exactly like their own bird.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on cream, oatmeal or white cotton for best results. The tan and golden tones in the neck need a pale background or theyll sink into the fabric colour. Pair the 5.73-inch on an apron bib or a tote bag front, the 2.68-inch on an egg cosy or a small gift pouch. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable woven cotton, switch to cutaway on stretch or knit. Avoid printed or busy fabric here because the character is in those big white eyes and a patterned ground kills the punchline completely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46366384914582,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CrazyHenHeadEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777543406","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/crazy-hen-head","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
