{"product_id":"wolf-woman","title":"Wolf and Woman Embroidery Design, Boho Double Exposure Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe wolf head takes up the upper two thirds of the composition, facing left in full profile. Theres the snout, the alert ear, the thick fur at the ruff, all rendered in tight directional stitching with 3 or 4 tonal grey steps to build depth. Fur lines at the cheek and neck run outward in short radiating strokes, exactly how real wolf fur grows, so it doesnt look like a grey blob. Ink-black outlines trace the whole silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust below the wolf jaw, the woman face merges in. She faces the same direction, eyes closed, a small dusky pink lip detail and a blush mark at her cheekbone. Her dark hair flows down and back, loose strands blending into the wolf fur at the merge point so the two figures share the same negative space. Its a proper double exposure effect rendered in thread and it takes some skill to pull off cleanly at embroidery density. Ive seen versions of the composition done badly, where the overlap zone just looks muddy. Not here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the neck and shoulder line, fresh green botanical leaves trail downward. About 6 or 7 individual leaf shapes, some pointing down, some slightly sideways, in a medium saturated green that contrasts against all the black and grey above. Green is the only warm colour stop in the whole design and it does a lot of work for just 1 thread change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour colours total, density at 1,010 stitches per square inch, largest size reaches 37,802 stitches. Thats dense work. Use a medium-heavy cutaway stabiliser, hoop tight, and run at a slightly slower machine speed to keep the fine face lines from distorting. Smallest size is 2.33 by 3.5 inches, largest is 4.99 by 7.5 inches. A customer messaged me last december after putting it on the back of a thrifted denim jacket and said people kept stopping her at the market to ask where she got it. A few other buyers have put it on jackets this season and it reads exactly like proper slow-fashion embroidery. On 4 colours alone the contrast between the grey wolf and the green leaves is strong enough to work at small scales too. White, cream, oatmeal or pale sage all work as backgrounds. Avoid anything too dark where the grey tonal range flattens out. Send me a photo once its stitched and Ill clean up the path order if anything looks off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46352320594070,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/WolfandWomanEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776659203","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/wolf-woman","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
