Bring dark elegance to your stitching with this stylised black swan and red rose design, drawn with a long curved neck, spread wings and feather-like leaf shapes. The strong black, red and white palette gives it a dramatic, modern look that will appeal to stitchers who like wildlife motifs with a fashion-led edge. It feels especially suited to anyone decorating pieces with a little more presence than a simple floral or bird alone.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it should sit neatly on fabrics where you want shape and contrast without a heavy, filled-in finish. It would look particularly good on the back of a black denim jacket, a canvas tote, a linen cushion cover or the corner of a table runner. With just two thread colours doing the work, the swan and rose stay crisp and readable across the size range while keeping the overall look clean and refined.
