Its a tight close-up portrait, just the face, the ridiculous spiky head plumage, a bit of grey neck, and a pair of thick black rectangular glasses sitting right on the beak. The expression is completely flat. Not angry exactly, just done. Done with everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe feather texture is whats interesting from a stitching perspective. Each individual strand of head plumage runs in a long loose radiating fill so the feathers actually fan out from the crown the way real ostrich plumage does, wild and going in slightly different directions rather than a uniform blob of orange. Thirteen colours sounds like alot but half of them are variations of the warm amber-orange range used to build that feather depth. Ive had customers tell me they didnt realise how many colour changes they ran because the transitions blend so naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eyes behind the glasses are their own small challenge, concentric fill rings in blue and brown with a warm amber iris, then the thick black frames sitting in front of them. Beak is a solid satin fill in orange with a darker underside so it reads as three dimensional. At 22k stitches on the 7.5-in run, density sits at a light 425 stitches per square inch, so this stitches out quicker than youd expect for thirteen colours. Run it last autumn on a canvas tote as a test and the whole thing was done in under forty minutes on a mid-range home machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a medium tearaway on woven fabric, or cutaway on anything stretchy. Avoid fluffy pile fabrics, the long feather fills need a firm base to sit flat. Works on denim, canvas, felt, or a smooth sweatshirt fleece. Pop the face on a tote, stitch it on a hat, add it to a tea towel if you want your kitchen to have some personality. Text me if those long radiating feather fills are sinking into your fabric pile and Ill tell you exactly which topping weight sorts it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45827604676758,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FunnyOstrichwithGlassesMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1762688369","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/funny-ostrich-glasses","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
