Sun and Moon Face Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Old school celestial sun face in vintage engraving style. The central disc has a soft melancholic face stitched in, full eyebrows, almond eyes looking off to the side, a small straight nose and a closed mouth with just a hint of expression. Around the perimeter youve got those wavy serpentine ray flames, around 24 of em, twisting outward like flickering ribbons rather than the usual triangular spikes. Done in single colour black line work, no fills, just the running line tracing every curve.

One. Done. Sizes are 3 inch, 4 inch, and 5 inch widths, with stitch counts at 6,596 then 8,617 then around 13,204 at the largest. Solid mid range stitch count for the size so itll work on most blanks without much fuss. I digitised the face details in finer running stitch and the outer ray flames in a heavier outline so the silhouette reads from across the room.

One customer wrote me back in march, she was hooping the 4 inch on a black cotton dust cap she sells through her tarot subscription box, and the black on black was too subtle so she swapped to pale cream metallic thread and posted me the photo. Wild contrast, looked otherworldly.

Pop a tearaway under woven cotton or canvas, the long ray strokes will pucker without a stable backer. Use cutaway under any knit. Hoop nice and tight, the running stitch on the face is unforgiving if the fabric shifts. Run the 4-in on a black tote, a 3 inch on a pocket panel, the 5 inch as the centrepiece on the back panel of a denim jacket. Avoid stretchy lycra blends, the curling rays wont recover their shape after a wash and youre stuck with wonky lines. Text me if you want a moon companion version, ive been thinking about cutting one and the matching pair would look lovely.
