Bring dark glamour to a jacket or bag with this leopard head in side profile, split between spotted fur and exposed skull. The living eye, bared teeth and anatomical bone detail give it a sharp gothic feel, while the large circular earring adds an unexpected modern edge. It suits anyone drawn to animal imagery with a tougher, illustrative look rather than something soft or pretty.
Worked in 10 thread colours across browns, black, cream, beige, tan and gold, it has plenty of depth in the fur pattern and facial shading. This is a dense, heavily stitched design, so it looks especially strong on sturdier fabrics such as denim, canvas, twill and sweatshirt fleece. Use it as a statement piece on the back of a black jacket, the front of a heavy hoodie, or a tote that can carry the weight of the detail well.
