{"product_id":"mandala-hummingbird","title":"Mandala Hummingbird Embroidery Design, Zentangle Bird Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe hummingbird is mid-hover, beak pointing forward, wings angled up and spread wide. The body is completely covered in mandala and zentangle patterns, tiny scrolls and circles and curved lines packed into every inch of the torso, chest and tail feathers. Its done entirely in black running-stitch linework so it looks almost like a fine ink drawing on fabric. Then the wings hit and its a completely different story, solid crimson red satin fill, bold and flat, 2 colours in total. The contrast between the intricate black body and those clean red wings is what makes this design actually work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch count is on the lighter side because the body is mostly outline work rather than fill, starting at 6,700 stitches on the 3.5-inch and only reaching about 12,900 on the 7.5-inch. Nine sizes, 3 of them work well below 5 inches which is great for placement on smaller items. The low density means its pretty friendly on delicate fabrics aswell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI drew this one for a mandala boutique owner who wanted a bird design that wasnt another tribal eagle. She wanted something that felt more artisan than sporty. Since it went live I been selling it to a mix of customers, yoga studio owners, boho jewelry sellers, wedding favour makers. One buyer last october ran it on ivory silk blouse fronts for a boutique, which I never woulda thought of but she sent photos and honestly it was gorgeous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack or white fabric both work here but they give very different looks. On white the red wings pop off hard and it feels modern and graphic. On black the red sings even deeper and the black body linework blends into a sort of tonal texture which is really interesting actually. Try ivory linen for a vintage feel. Pop the medium 5-inch on a tote, a cushion or a journal cover. Skip busy prints, the fine linework disappears on pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a light tearaway on woven cotton or linen. For the mandala body sections, a topping of water-soluble stabiliser helps keep the fine running stitch lines clear, especially on textured fabric. Skip the topping on smooth cotton, its fine without. If your machine skips stitches on the linework just message me and ill check the density settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46380912705686,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/MandalaHummingbirdEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778490601","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/mandala-hummingbird","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
