Rainbow Artistic Eye Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Im not gonna pretend this is a subtle design. Its a giant eye with rainbow lashes and a butterfly sitting on top and its meant to be seen from across the room. The iris is a warm amber-gold with a dark brown pupil at the centre. The sclera is clean white. And then the lashes just go absolutely everywhere, long pointed spikes fanning out like a sunburst in a full colour sequence from magenta and hot pink on the left, through red, orange, yellow, green, blue and deep purple, going all the way around.

The teal butterfly is perched on the upper left section of the lash ring, wings open, black outline detail, the venation on the wings stitched in with fine lines. It sits at about the 10 o'clock position and breaks the symmetry in a way that stops the whole thing looking like a logo. Below the eye there are small round bead-like dots scattered across the lower lash spikes, which look like decorative face gems in the illustration style. Thats a nice little touch that most people notice the second time they look at it.

21 colours and this is a dense design. A customer told me they run an online festival accessories shop and had the 7-inch file run on black denim last summer. It hit 73k stitches. They said it was worth every one. The outlines are what hold everything together so the topping matters on textured fabric. Message me if youre unsure which stabiliser to pair with your base material and Ill walk you through it.

Stitch this on black, white, or a deep solid colour and the rainbow lashes will do the rest. Avoid busy prints. The design needs a flat background to read clearly. Back with a brushed cutaway for the body of the eye and a topping on any fabric with texture. The density runs high in the lash segments, so good hooping is non-negotiable here. Dont rush the test swatch. Message me through the shop if youre working on an unusual fabric and want a second opinion before you hoop up.
