Ocean Seahorse Embroidery Design, Detailed Aqua Marine Life Pattern, Instant Download

The ocean seahorse, shown in tall side profile with that signature curled spiral tail at the bottom and the head reaching up at the top. Body plates are all articulated, you can count each scale row from the throat down to the tail, and the dorsal fin spreads back from the spine with thin radiating lines so it looks like a real fin not a flat shape. Crown ridge along the top of the head gets the orange accent treatment, its quite striking honestly.

Colour wise its mostly aqua teal across the body plates, with deep black hatching layered underneath to build shading and shadow. Orange picks out the dorsal spine ridges and the crown on top. Tiny grey blue accents add a watercoloured underlayer feel on the lower body, and white catchlights sit in the eye. Five colours and six colour changes per file, density runs 1621 stitches per square inch on the densest body plates so its definately not a quick stitch.

Comes in 3 sizes between 5.51 and 7.51 inches wide. Stitch counts hit 34,447 to 47,715 so this is a heavyweight piece. Use a strong cutaway stabiliser, no tearaway, the dense body plates have alot of pull. Mum had a beach house growing up and a similar seahorse hung on the porch wall, this was kinda based on that memory.

Stitches cleanly on cotton, linen, canvas, twill, terry towels, and lightweight denim. Skip jersey knit unless you double up the cutaway, the dense aqua fill warps stretchy fabric. Best on cream, white, sand, sage, or oatmeal fabric so the aqua and orange sing against a neutral backdrop. Customers send pics from kitchen towels canvas beach bags coastal cushion sets and the largest size hooped for guest bathroom wall art, theres been alot of those this past summer.

Last summer one customer ordered a set of three towels with the medium size for her coastal airbnb listing, she sent guest review pics that mentioned the embroidery directly.
