{"product_id":"realistic-mouse","title":"Realistic Mouse Embroidery Design, Woodland Animal Fine Art, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a mouse portrait rendered in a kinda old botanical illustration style. The mouse sits up on a branch at about three-quarter angle, big dark eye looking right at ya, long white whiskers fanning out to either side. The fur is all built up with fine directional stitching going in different directions on different body sections, so the charcoal back reads differently to that soft pale underbelly. Real cross-hatch engraving energy, like something out of a wildlife field guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour colours: charcoal for the back and top of the head, mid grey for the sides and ears, oatmeal for the belly and chin, black for the eye and those tight hairline whisker strands. The density is actually controlled at 681 stitches per square centimetre which means the fur texture comes out clean without getting stiff. my embroidery software did the digitising and the underlay work is solid so the directional fills dont pull or pucker on woven fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages from woodland gift shop owners about this one, mostly customising it onto natural linen bags and framing panels. One customer went straight to the full 7.5 on oatmeal linen last autumn and stitched it into a shadowbox for a forager-theme gift set. She said it looked like a proper illustration, not an embroidery at all, which honestly thats what I was going for. Nine sizes from 3.5 up to a 7.5-inch span, stitch count ranging 14k to 36k.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse cutaway stabiliser on any fabric because the directional density needs firm backing. Stitch on natural linen, ecru cotton twill or oatmeal canvas for the most naturalistic look. Avoid stretchy fabrics on the bigger sizes. The 3.5-inch tucks nicely into a tote pocket or journal cover, run the 6 or 7.5-inch as a standalone framing piece on tight-weave linen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkip busy patterned fabric here. All those layered whisker strands and the cross-hatch fur lines need a plain ground to read properly. Try a dark charcoal or navy cotton if youre after a moodier look, the pale underbelly pops nicely on dark cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46366184931478,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/RealisticMouseEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777519983","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/realistic-mouse","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
