Bring psychedelic colour to your stitching with this stylised dog portrait, worked as a head-and-shoulders view with soft floppy ears and sweeping abstract patches of colour. Black outlines anchor the face while navy, blue, turquoise, purple, green, yellow, orange, red and pink swirl through the coat for a modern pop-art look. It suits dog lovers who want something more graphic than a naturalistic pet design, and it has enough personality to stand out on its own.
With 16 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, this design has real visual weight and shows up especially well on sturdy fabrics such as denim jackets, canvas totes, sweatshirt fleece and cushion covers. The solid coverage gives the portrait a rich, almost painted feel, making it a strong choice for larger statement placements on the back of a jacket, the front of a hoodie or the centre of a tote. If you like animal embroidery with a contemporary edge, this one brings a familiar dog silhouette to life in a bold, art-forward way.
