Witch Cauldron Embroidery Design, Halloween Bubbling Potion Smoke Pattern

Worked up this witch cauldron piece and the swirling smoke is what carries it. A round black cast iron pot sits low, two handle loops on the sides, the body shaded with hatched line work that makes the metal look properly heavy. Out of the top of the pot curling smoke rises in long wisps, alternating green and purple as it twists upward, with little orb bubbles and sparkle dots floating around the curls.

Six threads keep the colour list manageable for a piece thats this detailed. So the bulk of the stitch count, around 13 thousand on the smallest size, goes into that black cauldron body alone with all its hatched shading. Theres about equal apple green and rich purple work in the smoke and the off white highlights catch the curve of the bubbles so theyll read as round not flat.

Holler at me through the shop if you wanna recolour the smoke, last week a customer asked for orange and blue versions for a different themed shop. But the standard colour combo on the smoke is what im always recommending because they read clearly even from a distance.

5 sizes from 3.06 inches wide up to 6.55 inches wide, taller than wide cause the smoke curls extend the height past the cauldron itself. Smallest works as a chest pocket piece, biggest centred on a tote bag or sweatshirt panel. Skip anything under 3 inches cause the bubble sparkles will mush together.

Stitch on cream cotton, dusty pink linen, navy denim, charcoal fleece, or any midweight light coloured fabric where the bright tones will pop. And use a medium cutaway behind anything stretchy. Slow the machine down through the long satin smoke wisps so they lay flat without bunching at the curve. Holler at me with a chat if the file misbehaves and Ill sort it.
