Mountain Bear by Jessica Long Embroidery combines two icons of the mountains into one clever design: a bear silhouette filled with a stitched mountain and forest landscape.
Rather than stitching a conventional bear portrait, you'll build the scenery inside the shape of the bear, with mountain peaks rising above layers of evergreen forest. The blue fabric provides a beautiful background for the earthy greens, blues, and warm natural colors of the landscape.
The project also offers plenty of opportunity to explore texture. Split stitch, stem stitch, and wheatear stitch are used to develop the different elements of the scene, making Mountain Bear an engaging project for stitchers who want to practice technique while creating a finished piece worthy of displaying.
The design is permanently printed directly onto the included blue cotton fabric, so there's no pattern transferring required. You'll also receive eight skeins of DMC embroidery floss, embroidery needles, a color-printed pattern, Jessica Long's Beginner Guide, and a 5-inch beechwood embroidery hoop.
It's a particularly fitting project for anyone who loves mountains, forests, wildlife, hiking, cabins, or the outdoors, and the finished piece feels especially at home in Appalachian and mountain-inspired decor.
