Mountain Forest River Embroidery Design, Instant Download

So my mountain forest river is the calm 7 colour woodland scene done in that engraved illustration style and its a proper outdoor escape vibe. Circular composition with a tall leaning bonsai-shape tree curving over from the left, cluster of dark pine silhouettes on the right, bright green ferns spilling along the rocky banks and a pale teal river winding down through the centre of the frame. Seven colours total but the design still reads detailed because of the fine parallel line shading running through every shape.

Whole scene leans on the engraved fine-line look. Each tree and rock carries thin black parallel line stitching laid in 1 direction so you get that woodcut feel up close. Cool muted teals fill behind the pine silhouettes for depth, the river is a pale sky blue washed almost flat. Fern fronds are bright leaf green stitched last so they sit forward of the moodier silhouette pines. Trunk on the bonsai tree gets a soft tan brown carved out from the black outline. And the circle edges sit unbordered, theyre not framed in, so the scene fades cleanly into the fabric.

Im aiming this at outdoor brand owners, woodland cabin decor folks, hiker tote shops and small adventure outfitters. Smallest size measures 3.5 by 2.94 inches at 19,802 stitches, largest fills a 7.5 by 6.3 footprint at 54,287. One customer messaged in october wanting the 6-inch onto olive heavy-duty canvas totes, she ran 12 of em as wedding favours for her sisters mountain ceremony out in colorado. Each tote got the date stitched underneath in a thin san serif, guests carried em home stuffed with trail mix and tiny soaps.

Lean toward natural mid-light grounds, cream canvas, oatmeal linen, olive cotton drill or a soft chambray will let the engraved line work read clearly. Avoid solid black or charcoal yardage, the silhouetted evergreens and the bonsai outline get totally swallowed, the whole scene flattens out. Stretchy fleece is a no aswell, the slim woodcut linework distorts along the stretch direction and looses its engraved feel.

Density runs near 1149 spi with 54k on the largest, decent overall weight but the line shading carries most of the count. Pair a medium cutaway under canvas, or firm tearaway under cotton drill. Keep the hoop drum-tight so those long parallel line runs lay straight without any wobble. Ease back the carriage speed across the dense pine cluster, that one section carries a heavy black outline run on its own. Email me through the listing chat when a line break trashes a pine pass and Ill point you at the safest colour row to start fresh.
