Curly Hair Meditating Woman Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Drop whatever youre working on for a second because this one is genuinely different to most portrait designs. Its a woman sitting cross-legged in a full lotus pose, palms open on her knees, eyes closed, completely at ease. And then theres the hair. The curls fan out from her head in every direction making this near-perfect circular halo shape. At the larger 7.39-inch size it really looks like a crown made of coils, the whole composition fills the hoop.

Seven colours do alot of work here. The golden yellow sweater is the brightest thing in the piece and the fill is dense enough that the ribbed cuff detail at the wrists reads as actual texture. Her skin is a warm burnt orange tone and the face stitching is fine and tight so the closed eyes and relaxed mouth stay legible even at the 3.45-inch smallest size. But its the hair thats the main event. Blue-black base with those subtle slate-purple undertones built up in overlapping directional fill runs across 6 thread stops just for the hair section. I get messages about this one asking if the hair was digitised by hand because of how the coil shapes come out, and ya it was, done in my software by one of our artists last summer.

Use medium cutaway stabiliser, always. The circular hair shape spans the full hoop width at 7.5 inches and the directional changes in that outer ring of curls will shift on stretchy fabric without proper support. Stitch on structured fabric like 10oz canvas tote material, denim or a stable fleece sweatshirt. One customer stitched the 5-inch run on a dark navy tote last year and said the golden sweater just sang against it. Skip lightweight voile or sheer fabric, the density on this needs a firm base.
