{"product_id":"realistic-bee-flower","title":"Realistic Bee on Flower Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eLooks like it came out of a naturalist field guide from the 1800s. The whole design is monochrome, just 3 tones: near-black, a warm mid grey, and off-white. No colour stops at all. The bee sits dead centre on the flower, body facing slightly upward, wings spread wide and flat. You can pick out the individual segments of the abdomen, the striped banding rendered in crosshatch fills mimicking the texture of fur rather than hard outlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide five-petal bloom opens underneath so the bee looks settled and at ease. Each petal has long directional line fills running from the base toward the tip, getting looser near the edges so the petal reads as thin. Its what separates it from a cartoon approach. Dont expect it to look digital once its stitched on cream linen or heavy cotton. Its got real weight to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity sits at 999 stitches per square inch, solidly mid-range for this level of detail. Stitch count tops out at 53k on the largest 7.13 by 7.5 inch version. Use a medium cutaway and hoop a firm woven fabric, canvas, linen, denim, or heavy cotton. The line work is fine enough that pile fabrics like velvet or fleece will eat the detail. Float a light topping on looser weaves to keep the thin petal lines crisp without adding bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI built it specifically for the botanical and naturalist look thats been popular on aprons, tote bags and linen homeware for a few years now. Black thread on cream linen is the classic pairing and it absolutely works here. 9 sizes run from 3.33 by 3.5 up to 7.13 by 7.5 so theres a fit for a pocket badge all the way to a full cushion face. A customer last spring stitched the large size on a natural linen apron bib and sent the result, and I get messages about this one from gardeners and beekeepers more than almost any other design in the shop. Drop me a note if a fill direction runs off-grain and Ill fix the underlay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46369430306966,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/RealisticBeeonFlowerEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777867219","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/realistic-bee-flower","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
