Get ready for something truly extraordinary! We're excited to introduce our very first pre-order for a one-of-a-kind project — a stunning embroidered bull that’s packed with history, craftsmanship, and bold artistry.

The journey begins with a vintage fabric background — a 1950s seed bag, worn and mended with character that only age can lend. I deconstructed the bag, infused it with intricate tonal embroidery, running stitches of varying thicknesses, motifs, and decorative touches that bring it to life. Frayed edges and mounting on a sturdy backing give it a raw, yet refined look, setting the stage for the main event: the majestic bull.

The techniques used in creating this remarkable background are detailed in my Artful Embroidery book — a must-have for anyone eager to learn about framing and mounting these stunning pieces.

The centerpiece, the bull, is a marvel of embroidery and design — stitched by hand, trimmed meticulously, then layered with overlapping pieces to achieve captivating dimension. Measuring just 12”x12” at its smallest, it’s a statement piece that commands attention. Due to its size, it requires a large hoop, roughly 7.8” x 12”, or a compatible embroidery machine setup. The components are mounted on custom-cut acrylic or cardboard, and included SVG files make laser cutting or machine cutting a breeze.

Overall, the finished artwork measures approximately 16”x16”, perfect for a shadowbox frame or display case, ensuring this piece truly stands out as a showstopper.

And this is just the beginning—more animal designs inspired by vintage treasures are on the horizon. But for now, get ready to own this exclusive masterpiece that beautifully combines history, craftsmanship, and bold artistry in one stunning package!
