{"product_id":"realistic-honey-bee-2","title":"Realistic Honey Bee Embroidery Design, Detailed Wings Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHoney bee design and shes drawn realistic from above, almost like an old textbook plate. Wings spread wide on either side with delicate line work inside showing the transparent vein pattern. Six legs dangling underneath. Fuzzy black thorax and round head, big black eye dots, and an orange and black striped abdomen with sharp clean bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust two colour changes total which keeps it fast to stitch, classic black for the body wings outlines and legs, plus that bright marmalade orange for the abdomen bands. The wing detail uses fine running stitch lines so the wings read as see-through veins and not solid blocks. Thorax and head use directional fill so the fuzz reads as actual hair, not a flat patch. Honestly the wings are what take this design from cartoon to scientific drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBin digitising bee designs for ages now and this realistic style is honestly my favourite, the veins drawn inside the wings is what sells it. Theres a tiny detail I really love. The legs are bent a touch differently on each side so the bee reads alive rather than pinned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages alot from customers stitching this on garden aprons, beekeeper gifts and a few honey jar fabric covers. Last summer one buyer ordered the largest size for a back panel on a denim chore jacket for her beekeeper husband birthday, she sent me a pic and it looked sharp on the indigo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComes in 5 sizes from 2.35 inches tall up to 5.04 inches tall. Stitches lovely on cream linen, natural canvas, oatmeal cotton, light denim and pale waffle weave. Pop tearaway behind any woven cotton, use cutaway behind any stretchy knit. Switch the orange thread for a deeper amber on cream fabric if youre wanting to lean even more vintage botanical. Honestly thats my favourite thread swap on this one, itll feel even more like a vintage natural history plate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46321613897878,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/RealisticHoneyBeeembroiderydesign.png?v=1775017477","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/realistic-honey-bee-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
