Bring roots style to your stitching with this Bob Marley portrait design, drawn as a striking split image of man and lion. The side-profile face flows into the lion’s eye and muzzle, with long dreadlocks, moustache and goatee giving the piece its unmistakable character. With 8 thread colours working through black, brown, yellow, cream, white, red and green, it has the look of a graphic embroidered illustration rather than a flat outline, and it will appeal to reggae fans who want something more artistic than a simple name or logo.
This is a dense, heavily stitched design, so it suits fabrics with enough body to support the detail: think the back of a denim jacket, a heavyweight hoodie, a canvas tote or the front of a sturdy sweatshirt. The strong contrast in the face and lion features helps the image read clearly from a distance, while the small round beads add a neat finishing touch up close. Offered in 12 sizes from 3" to 10", it works equally well as a compact chest piece or a large centre-back statement.
