{"product_id":"elegant-woman-portrait-line-art","title":"Elegant Woman Portrait Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eProfile portrait, woman facing left, neck long, hair loose and flowing back. The outline technique here is broken sketch, not a closed contour. Lines start and stop on purpose, the jawline fades before the chin, the hair dissolves at the ends into loose satin strokes. Three colours, 5 sizes from 2.37 inches wide up to 5.09 inches, stitch count from 7,549 to 15,521. Its really really a fashion illustration more than a portrait and that editorial quality is what makes it work on apparel that wants to look like it came from a gallery rather than a craft store.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe digitising handles the gap technique by using broken satin columns with deliberate underlay spacing. Dusty rose thread handles the lips and a soft blush on the cheekbone. Sage-green strokes run through the hair section to give the piece that kinda three-colour depth without filling the whole head with solid thread. Customising the colour palette is straightforward if youre digitising-savvy, but the default three work brilliantly on white or pale grey fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace it on the upper back yoke of a linen shirt, centre on a canvas zip tote, or stitch onto a stretched 6-inch hoop as wall art. I get requests for this style from boutique makers doing slow-fashion capsule pieces. Last month a customer ordered it for a whole run of linen shirts she was selling at a pop-up market and said it was what stopped people at her table. Honestly this one gets asked about more than I expected, people recognise the editorial fashion-illustration style and wanna use it for their brand identity pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkip dense knits for the detailed face area, thats where portrait work goes wrong. Woven cotton, linen or canvas gives the broken sketch lines room to breathe. Use a light tear-away stabiliser, hoop medium tension, and dont over-hoop because distortion around the face area shows badly on portrait work. Portrait work is the one category where fabric prep makes or breaks the result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293192704150,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ElegantWomanPortraitLineArtEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1773482256","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/elegant-woman-portrait-line-art","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
