Creating a 3D effect
This was requested by a lovely woman who was open to ideas about skulls, hearts and brains. We decided that for her budget a loosely shaded skull would be bang on and so that’s what I stitched. Look closely and you can see my emphasis on stitch direction to create a 3D effect along with carefully placed highlights to make it jump off the hoop.

Available from my Etsy Shop, this design is now available as a vinyl sticker or a textured giclee print. They both capture the embroidery in such detail that the stitches look perfectly tactile. Use them to brighten anything from your medical or hobby kits through to your office or living room walls.
