{"product_id":"mother-baby-elephant","title":"Mother Baby Elephant Embroidery Design, Wildlife Nursery Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe mother is bigger obviously, walking with her trunk raised a little, and the calf is right there beside her, almost tucked under her. Both facing the same direction in profile. What I really like about this one is the skin texture, it uses layered fill stitching to build up the wrinkled look, so it doesnt come out flat and cartoon-like, it actually looks like elephant skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 colours go into this and they really really build depth. Youre working from near-white highlights down through four or five grey tones to deep charcoal shadow areas, plus some warmer brown tones in the skin fold detail. Kinda the most complex animal shading Ive done in terms of colour change management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI sell this one alot for nursery gifts aswell as wildlife fans. One customer sent me a photo this spring of it stitched on a soft grey muslin blanket for a baby shower and it was genuinely one of the nicest finishes Ive seen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 sizes available, smallest starts at 4.16 inches wide, largest reaches 6.95 inches. Stitch count runs from about 30,000 up to close on 57,000 for the biggest, so this is not a quick stitch. Use a solid cutaway stabiliser, this design needs firm support for all that density.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSage green, cream, white or soft grey fabric lets the charcoal elephant tones come through cleanly. Avoid dark backgrounds as the highlight colours will disappear. Hoop firmly and let the machine do the colour-building at a steady medium pace.Send me a photo if you do something with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46361761185942,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/Mother_BabyElephantEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777176146","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/mother-baby-elephant","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
