Bring striking surreal detail to your stitching with this elegant cartoon-style eyeball design, drawn as a detached eye with a vivid turquoise iris, deep black pupil, trailing optic nerve and fine red branching veins. The mix of white, turquoise, black, red and coral gives it a bold, graphic look that suits anime-inspired makes, alternative fashion and anyone who likes their embroidery a little uncanny. It has enough personality to stand alone on a garment, rather than reading like a small filler motif.
Because the stitching is open and lightly worked, it sits well on fabrics where you want the design to stay flexible, such as cotton tees, sweatshirts, denim jackets and canvas tote bags. The four-colour build keeps the look clean and readable, with the blood vessels and nerve adding just enough detail to make the eye feel expressive. Use it as a single focal point on the chest, sleeve or back, or place it on a pouch or apron where the unusual subject can do the talking.
