Bring quietly bookish charm to your stitching with this line-art frog perched on a stack of books, teacup in hand and steam curling up from the saucer. The striped cardigan and tiny buttons give it a cosy, observant feel that will appeal to readers, library lovers and anyone who likes their animal motifs with a bit of personality. In black and white with just two thread colours, it keeps the look clean and graphic rather than busy.
Because the stitching is open and lightly worked, it suits fabrics where you want the illustration to stay soft and easy rather than heavy. It would look especially good on a sweatshirt, cardigan back, tote bag, book sleeve or a reading cushion, where the books-and-tea theme feels right at home. With 12 size options from 3" to 10", it can work as a small chest detail or a larger feature without losing the simple line-drawn character.
