Bring ornate colour to your stitching with this elegant Day of the Dead sugar skull, built around a faceted diamond on the forehead and framed by a bold flower, leafy vines and petal-ring eyes. The black, cream, red, blue, green, orange and yellow palette gives it the look of painted folk art, while the small heart, tiny flower, teardrop nose and cheek details keep the skull decorative rather than harsh. It is a strong choice for anyone who wants a Halloween or Día de los Muertos design with a more refined, floral feel.
This design suits jacket backs, sweatshirt fronts, tote bags, apron bibs and cushion covers where the detail has room to show. The dense, heavily stitched finish gives the diamond, petals and border accents a solid, filled-in look, so it works best on stable fabrics such as denim, canvas, twill and heavier cotton. With 12 thread colours and a wide size range available, it can read as either a striking centrepiece or a richly detailed accent depending on where you place it.
