{"product_id":"orca-whale-balloons","title":"Orca Whale with Balloons Embroidery Design, Kawaii Machine Embroidery, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe orca is mid-leap, nose pointed up, body arching in that classic breach pose, and from its back a bunch of pastel balloons trails upward. Twenty-six colour changes go into the balloon cluster alone. Mint, coral, lavender, butter yellow, peach, sage, pink, the lil balloons fan out in every direction with individual string lines coming down to a single point on the whales back. Theres a tiny heart floating between the strings, easy to miss at first glance but once ya spot it ya cant unsee it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made this one last spring after a marine sanctuary volunteer wrote me asking for an orca design that wasnt grim or documentary-looking. She wanted something joyful she could stitch on fundraiser tote bags for the sanctuary gift shop. The balloon idea came from wanting the opposite of a sea creature in distress, something hopeful instead. Since then I get orders from birthday party planners, ocean-themed nursery mums, and a bunch of people doing kids room wall hoops. The orca body runs in three tones, jet black dorsal surface, grey-blue flank shading, clean white belly and eye patch, nine sizes from 1.64 inches wide up to 3.51 by 7.51 inches at the largest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop the tall 7.5-inch on a white cotton tea towel or a natural linen tote and the balloons really float. Stitch the smallest size on a onesie chest or a bib for a baby shower ocean theme. Use a medium-weight tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton and switch to mesh cutaway on jersey or knits. Skip busy patterned fabrics, the 26 balloon colours need a plain pale ground to read properly. Satin columns run along the body so the stitching direction changes at the flank boundary and it reads like actual orca skin rather than a flat black fill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46366224449686,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/OrcaWhalewithBalloonsEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777526039","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/orca-whale-balloons","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
