Floral Bee Skull Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Skull and flowers is a classic tattoo thing and this one pulls it off really well in thread. The skull sits at a slight 3-quarter angle, facing slightly left, and the whole thing is wrapped in daisy blooms, honeycombs, a couple of bees and leafy branches coming up from below. All single black thread, no fill at all, so it stitches out looking like a fine-line tattoo illustration. 1 color, 0 thread changes.

Smallest pull hits 3.5 inches with a clean fill at 12,274 stitches and 26,349 on the 7.5-inch largest. Pop a firm cutaway behind cotton or linen, tearaway works fine on canvas. The skull outline sections are fairly dense despite having no fill, so a stabiliser that doesnt move is important. I've had people skip it on canvas and regret it. Dont skip it. Total thread used at the full size is about 207 feet of bobbin and 153 feet of top thread.

Denim jackets are the main thing people use this for, the line art reads perfectly on indigo denim and you dont need fill to make it stand out. Stitch it on an apron, put it on a canvas tote, use it on a biker patch for festival gear. I get messages about this one from alternative fashion people pretty regularly. A customer last october stitched it on the denim chore-coat back for a Day of the Dead event and got stopped multiple times for people asking where they got it. Stitch it on a black or natural linen shirt for an alt fashion look. Its gothic without being agressive about it, and thats what makes it versatile.
